Breast Reduction/Lift or Tummy Tuck/Lower Body Lift, which was worse pain?

Hi all,

If you've had both a breast lift/reduction and a tummy tuck, which would you say was the worst pain of the two? I have been very surprised at how hard it has been to recover from my recent breast reduction surgery and am wondering how bad the tummy tuck will be in comparison. I'm assuming it will be much worse pain, since there will be more cutting into muscle, but I want to get a better idea of what I'm in for if possible (can you compare the pain discomfort of the two procedures on a scale of one to ten, with one being not bad at all and ten being the worst imaginable pain/discomfort?). I admit, I sure didn't expect recovery from my breast reduction surgery to be as difficult as it has been (at least as bad as getting sleeved, or actually probably even worse). In some ways I think being overly optimistic about how a procedure will go is just as bad or worse than being overly fearful.
