Asked By:Netty117927 in Coolangatta, Queensland, Australia

I am a female, 42yo, 55kg. I had lipo as part of a fat transfer procedure over 2 yrs ago, and am having persistent (tearing) pain at the lipo sites on my flanks on running over 7km. The pain lasts for a few days to a week after. The other lipo sites are fine. I am a long distance runner so this is quite disruptive. I have tried compressive garments and am going to try strapping the area next. Is there anything else I can do, and can I expect this to resolve at all?
