Summary
- Ann talks to Mr Karri 15 minutes after liposuction for lipoedema around her knees.
- She rated her pain as less than one out of ten.
- Her advice is to learn as much as you can and follow the advice of professionals.
15 minutes after undertaking lipoedema liposuction around her knees, our patient talks to surgeon Mr Karri about how she feels post surgery. Ann had her surgery at The Karri Clinic, and says she feels 'shockingly wonderful' just 15 minutes after coming out of her operation.
When asked about her pain level, Ann says it's 'less than one' on a scale of one to ten.
Discussing her pre surgery worries, Ann said she was unsure about how painful it would be, would she feel lightheaded and when she would be able to return to her normal life.
She also noted that the general anaesthetic was the best she has ever had.
Giving advice to those who suffer from lipoedema, Ann suggests getting as much education as you can and to listening and following the advice of excellent professional around them.
