Pain comparison?

So I had a belt lepactomy they cut me all the way around and going up... The results are better then I ever could have imagined. I'm in love with my new tummy and the recovery so far hasn't been as hard as I expected but I've had my moments of really bad pain and discomfort. I also had some stitches open but I just tell myself that is the price of admissions and totally worth every minute... So I'm pretty sure I'm going to be able to get my arms and breasts done in like another month or so. I had thought I'd read somewhere someone said the pain was much worse for their arms and breasts? Can anyone who has had both compare I worry about everything and then it's never as bad as I expected so that's all this is but a little insight on my next journey would be appreciated. TIA!

In my experience the breasts were cake with hardly any discomfort.  The arms took some time to heal but nothing that was unbearable.  I haven't had lower body work so I can't draw a comparison.  It would be great to hear from those who have done both.

I have pretty much had it all done. The most challenging for me was definitely the inner thigh lift. The tummy tuck was a bit of a challenge because I had a lot of muscle tightening. It was done at the same time as my breasts. My breasts paled in comparison to my tummy work. That being said, my inner thigh lift done in conjunction with my arm lift was the most challenging. Waiting as long as you can in between procedures is very beneficial. I had my procedures close together and it really takes a toll on you. In hindsight I wish I had waited longer in between procedures.

For the arms and breasts, you want to make sure you have things withing easy reach. You don't want to be stretching unnecessarily. Make sure food items and pots and pans are on an easily reachable surface. If you stretch too much with your arms your armpits will suffer the consequences.
