Oops, I meant the "lipo was a different story" not lips. LOL Still have my
same old lips.

I read here and have heard so much from others about how high their pain was.
Am I alone in having no pain from the incisions? I had a partial tt (all across
the front) and breast lift (lolipop). I have had literally no pain from either
at all. The lips areas are a different story but it was like a really deep
bruise. It hurt but not like an incision would. My dr. said she puts numbing
agent inside that removes all pain from incisions. Is she only one of few that
do this? I just find it hard to believe that all doctors wouldn't do this for
people if it's available. Don't get me wrong - I took my share of Vicodin during
the first week. It was for the lipo pain and the pain from putting the implants
under my muscle. I was just really surprised that the incisions didn't hurt. I
fully expected them too.

Hi Tami,

I am now 3 weeks post-op, and starting to get back in my normal routine.
I still can't lift anything more than 5-10 lbs. I was also lucky,the
pain was minimal.The surgeon placed a pain pump in, that contained a
novacain type drug. I strongly recomend any one who is having this type
of surgery to ask if the hopital uses this type of pain pump(not all
do). It truely made the first few days easier to deal with. I am finally
getting excited about my new body!!!!Thanks for boost.

in and out of bed. But, it gets better every day. I am back to
exercision, though lightly. I will say that I feel about 90% of my
pre-surgery self - only smaller!
