Can Smart Lipo Cause Permanent Nerve Damage?

January 13, 2009
Asked By:beaglelover in Pepperell, Ma

I had Smart Lipo done on my outer thighs, flanks, and upper and lower abdomen. I have pain in one leg, close to my hip bone. It aches and hurts to touch. Can I assume that some permanent nerve damage was occurred?
