How will you feel the first day or 2 straight out of surgery?
Answers to a common question from a BBL client soon after she had her procedure:
How will you feel the first day or 2 straight out of surgery?
- Honestly - pretty crappy!
- you wake up cold & shaking
- your skin doesn’t feel normal, you feel swollen and puffy
- you can’t sleep peacefully – normal sleeping positions hurt
- fluid builds up and you feel constantly swollen
- you have to get Lymphatic Drainage Massages daily (and they can hurt!)
- fluid still builds up - so do self massage -it can hurt!
- sometimes your stitches will dissolve but often your incisions close faster than they can fall out and they have to be cut out
- you’re hungry every 5 mins, but can’t poop because of constipation caused by the opiate painkillers
- Your butt crack hurts!!
- And get a good faja - a poor-fitting faja can rub on incisions and make them constantly itch
- Once you can go to the loo, you can’t wipe properly coz your butt & butt-crack hurts!
We recommend have someone with you for the first few days of your recovery, either partner, family or a friend, or book a recovery home.
Recovering from any form of surgery is not fun, but this is truly a case of self-inflicted pain - for long term happiness and gain! You are building your figure for you, and this is just a necessary hurdle on your journey. Good luck with your recovery.
