      Hi Jsneathen21, I had my both arms done so hard to give you advice on what it would be like for the groin region. I would think that standing all day in retail would be tough. I just wanted to wish you luck with the procedure. Ed

      I had both arms done in November.  I couldn't wear a bra or use deodorant.  I was off for about ten days but only because seeing patients daily wasn't apprporiate floppy and stinky!!! Whatever time you take off rest and yet move.
