Why did I grow a lot of hair on my stomach where I had liposuction done?

Asked By:Persiansweetie in Los Angeles, CA

After I had liposuction on my abdomen and back, I become very hairy. I've never been a hairy person and all of a sudden I have a stomach full of dark hair. It's absolutely everywhere on my stomach. Is this normal? If I shave it, will it come back or was it just a one-time thing?
