Day 16 after arm liposuction

It doesn't hurt as much as the tenth day of swelling and hardening. From the day of surgery through day 3, it was hard to move around, but it wasn't unbearable, so taking the KTX was perfectly possible. On day 4, it suddenly hurt so much that it was difficult. The contour looks fine. Putting on and taking off the compression garment is really hard. (I realized wearing it was better because even taking it off briefly caused such an uncomfortable, painful feeling of everything shaking.) Around day 10, because of the swelling and hardening, I could sleep only about three hours a day and kept waking up. The contour was also extremely swollen. I had expected it to be really painful, but the pain was bad enough to make me swear out loud as soon as I woke up. It was more pain from the swelling and hardening than from the surgery itself. Around the time I was nearing two weeks, I stopped waking up from pain while sleeping. It isn't unbearably difficult anymore, and my range of motion has increased. The contour has become a little thinner again. It still doesn't feel like my own body, and I walk incredibly slowly because I feel anxious without the compression garment. The scars are of course still noticeable. (I had the stitches removed yesterday.)
