Is more pain 4 weeks after liposuction than the first week common?

aj2016hllywdNov 4, 2016
I had liposuction of my trunk (abs, hips, underarms--- more along the bra line and a little from my back) 1 month ago today. And I'm now feeling more pain and tenderness than before. The swelling is going down and I've been doing lymphatic massage so a lot of the hardness is continually breaking up. But I feel so tender and tight and sitting up feels like it's putting an indentation on my left side. I'm still wearing a compression garment at least 16 hors a day. Is this normal?

It is unfortunate that this has occurred. This area that appears "bruised" is actually evidence of skin necrosis. This represents damage to the underlying skin which occurred during your liposuction. At this time, you will require wound care and possible debridement of this necrotic skin. You...

No liposuction of the abdomen does not tighten your vagina.  There are various procedures, surgical and nonsurgical for vaginal tightening.  Discuss these options with your gynecologist.
