Hi! My Name is Gisel I'm 24 yrs old How ever every time I feel like something is wrong with me I always look it up on google, and this website pops up with answers from you Doctor. Now, I recently got a Tummy tuck and Lipo sculpture. I've been noticing I get a really rapid hot burning sensation around my hip/waist line. It hurts so much that I cry.
