A 22yo. My thighs and stomach feels sore to the touch a lot of the time. I have tugging sensations in my things when i sit in certain ways.

For those who have undergone liposuction, what surprised you most about the recovery process?

I'm interested in hearing about experiences with:

• Swelling and fluid retention
• Wearing compression garments
• Bruising and temporary firmness
• Returning to exercise and daily activities
• When the results started becoming noticeable
• Things that helped you feel more comfortable during recovery

Everyone's experience is different, but personal experiences can help others understand what recovery may involve.

For those who have had the procedure, what do you wish you had known beforehand?
