11 days ago I had a tummy liposuction. I was told about the long lasting numbness in areas of surgery. However on day 9 I have a very sharp pain under my rib cage on left side of tummy. The pain is when I am bending down and very intense. I was wondering if there is website that I can see exactly how inside the stomach looks like after lipo and where the nerves are so I can understand the why I am having this sharp pain. My Search on website does not give much as what I am looking for.
