Asked By:aj2016hllywd in Hollywood, FL

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?
