I did it. It hurts. Is this normal? ("Body Sculpting")

removing fat from your body.
The body needs some fat to function,eg to make hormone,body needs fat.

OP - patience, my friend, patience. If you're only a week out from the procedure, all of those weird little things going on are annoying, but not a sign of anything serious.

Best of luck, and let us know how things are going in a few more weeks.

Big thing is to do exactly what you are supposed to for recovery.

I have had similar done twice. Get the walking/light exercise in and be sure to wear the compression garment they recommend. Each time was a little different in how I recovered and how the healing felt.

OP, there is a plastic surgery website you can check out to see reviews and questions similar to yours about various procedures. RealSelf.com

Good luck.

What makes the comment humorous to me, OP stated they are a man.

This would be a question for the providers and/or your doctor. I'm confused as to what you had done, exactly. With the cryogenic techniques, they don't "take fat out"; it's somehow supposed to dissolve. Liposuction "takes it out," but you'd have an incision. Were you sedated? And what we all want to know is: did it work?

This procedure does take the fat out. What the OP had done is very similar to liposuction with a way smaller suction tube no matter how they describe it in the advertisement. If you go to the website it explains what they really do.

I didn't find it humorous and yes, I did get that the OP is a man. Doesn't make the old 'Vanity, thy name is woman' comment funny to me.

I don't know what's amusing about calling a man or woman vane for having a procedure to make themselves look and feel better.

My amusement came from the lack of reading comprehension on the part of a person making misogynistic comments.

Whenever your body is assaulted by surgery or ANY procedure, it has to have time to heal. Your body will work OVERTIME so you must rest and take it easy. I don't know what procedure you had, but you must give your body time to heal.
