Liposuction 4 You - Post-operative Emotions Reminder Print Out

This is for me to remember that feelings of sadness post-operatively are normal.  I realize that this does not happen to all people but the few that it does happen to may include me.  I know that I need to be patient and think positive as it promotes better healing and relaxation.  I know that I need to wait out my healing period before I pass judgment and follow my surgeon's instructions to increase my chances of a great result.  I do know that stress and anxiety can only make matters worse and I will try my best to not let it affect me.

  1. I will be:
    • sore

    • tired

    • irritable

    • unsure

    • possibly depressed

    • bloated

    • bored

    • anxious

    • restless

    • unable to sleep at times

  2. During my recovery my treatment area may:
    • be asymmetrical

    • be lopsided

    • be swollen

    • be bruised

    • be tender to the touch

    • experience sharp pains

    • be firm or hard

    • break out with acne

    • leak from my incisions

    • experience irritation from the tape or anesthetic

    • feel like I have been sunburned

    • experience a tingling sensation

    • be numb

I also realize that even the daily subtle changes or flaws that I may see in the mirror may not be visible to others as I am my own worst critic.  I do realize once I heal my changes can be seen with the help of before and after photos and if I do not like the end result after I am healed many months from now I can always approach my surgeon regarding my dissatisfaction. 

I know must not take out my insecurities or anger on my significant other, family or friends but I sometimes cannot help it and need to vent my frustration or sadness.  I know I need to keep my chin up and let my body and mind heal because surgery is invasive and can trigger many emotions.  I know that I can always get support from my loved ones and friends, be they "in the flesh" or online. 

I know this state of disarray and being unsure is only temporary.  Today I will smile and remain patient because tomorrow will be another day and will bring me one day closer to being fully healed.
