How was her pain when done? For how long? What is recovery like? I know pain meds are now withheld so the postop and recovery pain levels and intensity concerns me. My friend is being offered aromatherapy 2 days postop from open heart surgery where they cleaned out her cavity of keloids and had her open 16 hrs!!! Idk what is wrong with the AMA 🤦♀️
The patient did great. She was comfortable throughout the procedure. Her recovery went well . She had the usual post operative symptoms. We understand that tumescent [ Local ] Anesthesia and mild sedative is not for everyone. However it does allow a faster recovery for those that chose tumescent anesthesia for their procedures.
I hope you post the results. I wish I could afford to have this done 😢
How much is it? I can't get any one to even give me a ball park figure.
@@sarcasticcat4982 I don't know but I have no money so I know I couldn't afford it. Probably about 7K is my guess.
