Persistent Pain 5 months after a tummy tuck and liposuction

It seems somewhat unusual that you have prolonged pain 5 months after a tummy tuck. You may need muscle re-education and training if a large separation was repaired. Or you have tenderness and recovering nerve function if agressive liposcution was performed. A physical therapist and specifically a Pilates style of core strengthening may be beneficial as well as massage, scar mobilization and desensitization therapy in the liposuction treated areas. see video
