Skin Contractions After Tumescent Liposuction?

9918anon
I'm 43 years old and I had tumescent lipo done 2 wks ago. My skin is retracting really bad that it feels like contractions coming and going. Or even better to say like cramps. This does not really hurt but it is very unconfortable feeling for me. I also have a lot of areas that are lumpy around the waist area, with some skin irregularities. Is this normal for the skin to contract this way? Or should I be concern?
