I can only speak to the pain level I had after a brachioplasty (arm lift): it was very, very painful for me, so I needed vicodin, 2 every 4 hours, for almost 2 weeks. That was much higher dosage of medication than I usually have after surgery; I typically have a high pain threshold. However, that surgery HURTS -- no lie. But I love the results!
