I had an extended abdominoplasty surgery on 09/29/15. Yesterday 10/3 I started with a pinching sensation in the right side of the incision. It's only when walking or doing a certain movement that i get this pulling/pinching sensation. In a pain scale is like a 10 when it happens. Is this normal? Other than that my incision looks great and intact.

Answer: Importance of choosing a surgeon that will care for you after surgery If you get a pain in a specific location in only a certain position it is likely that you are pulling on a suture. See your surgeon, as they will know best what they did. My strong belief is that when we agree to operate on someone we make a commitment to that person to take care of them through thick and thin until they are healed. I imagine your surgeon would be happy to see you and allay your concerns. For those considering surgery, make sure you are confident that your surgeon will be there for you before, during and after surgery.Dr Rodger ShorttOakville Plastic SurgeonDirector of Cosmetic Surgery Training &Assistant Clinical Professor,McMaster University

Answer: It is related to recovering nerve endings Pinching sensations like this are from recovering nerve endings. They are normal at this stage. Sometimes they can last for a few months.
