Is pain normal almost 1 year after liposuction? Do you recommend any tests or treatment to help?

Asked By:GRNDR in Bethesda, MD

I had aggressive liposuction almost a year ago and I still have severe pain in my back and "buffalo" hump" area. I also have pain from the blood pressure cuff during my surgery. I have taken Nuerotin this whole time which helps but doesn't take the pain away completely. Is this pain most likely be permanent?
