Pain 1 month after lipo
It is not uncommon to still be having the type of pain you're describing at this phase of recovery. Though much probably appears healed on the surface, there is much more healing going on in your body. You should notice gradual improvement over the coming days and weeks though. Make sure to keep your follow up appointments with your surgeon who can monitor your progress. Good luck!

Reason for pain after liposuction and fat grafting.
At 4 weeks after surgery, you are still in the early stages of healing. The tissues beneath your skin are healing and with that comes some firmness, swelling and the tissues tighten as they heal. Sitting on these freshly operated tissues can be uncomfortable but as the areas fully heal and the tissues relax and soften, which can take up to 6 months, there should be a progressive lessening of any discomfort. Check back with your plastic surgeon for follow up to be sure...
