I think the pain levels are so much individual. I had the tt/brachioplasty and
major hernia repair (size of a dinner plate) and i would have to say the pain
was moderate. I got sick on the vicodin the hospital, so just used extra
strength tylenol. I did, however have an on cue pain pump the first few days-a
wonderful invention....no negative effects like the pain meds normallly given.

The Brachioplasty wasn't so bad. I won't lie, it hurt like hell...but
in 4 weeks I was back to work and doing fine. The scars aren't
pretty, but if you keep your arms to your sides, you don't really see
them....and I am only 6 months out, so I'm hoping they'll fade some.

I wanted to stop after the brachioplasty because the pain was
bad....but the first day I put on a tight sweater (which I haven't
been able to do since I was 9), and saw the skinny arms, I almost
cried and decided right then and there I was going to continue on and
get my TT and Thigh lift.
