Recovery






I had absolutely no pain with the procedure or after. I stayed numb for about 5-6 hours. I did have numbness like when you get your mouth frozen for dental work all the way down my right arm to my ring and little finger until the 6th hour. I called Tiffani when I got back to my hotel room to let her know. She said it should go away but if it didn't I was to call Dr. Nielson anytime through the night if I had any concerns.




I was by myself in the hotel room which was scary initially but once I realized how simple the procedure was I was quite at ease. I was draining fluid into a tee-shirt I had on but I was told to expect that. Soreness under the arms started about 7-8 hours after surgery but it was nothing that required medication. I am very sensitive to pain and still needed nothing for pain.
