When does the pulling burning feeling, (kind of feels like stitches stretching) go away? (Photos)

Asked By:tfulks45 in Daingerfield, Tx

I had a complex vertical thigh lift and an outer lift also about 6 weeks ago. Overall, I am very pleased! However, I am curious how long the swelling might last, and when does the tight feeling go away? Eveytime that I flex my feet or stand and walk, I have a lot of burning, tingling unpleasant feeling.
