Had liposuction on March 9,2018. I had a BBL.abdominal area& flanks. Pain in belly area is gone, butt still sore, it's my sides that are giving me a hard time. Jul.9 is 4 months post op. Hips feel like a ripping sensation.My SO picked me up to play around but the pulling of my skin caused extreme ripping sensation on my hips. still can't lay on my sides. I sleep on my belly all the time. Is this normal? How long will it take to go away it's been 4 agonizing months.
