My friend was telling me about her body lift procedure that she had several years ago. She really liked the results and recommended that I also consider the procedure to remove excess skin and fat from my belly and thigh areas. My main concern is the after care. Will I need my husband to take some time off work to help me with the recovery process?

I had submuscular breast augmentation a month ago. The incision was inframammary and one incision is now tingling and has been doing so for days. It is especially bad when I raise my arm over my head, otherwise, I have no signs of any other complications. What could this be and should I be concerned? How long will it last?

I had liposuction on my abdomen about 1-1/2 years ago. There has since been a large bulge over my bellybutton that was not there prior to surgery. Since it has been so long, I do not think it can still be blamed on swelling. Do you know why this may have happened and what can be done to fix it?
