6 weeks p/o lipo flanks, upper, lower stomach, and thighs still sore itching and skin feels weird, is this normal?

hello bev64 Pain and discomfort after liposuction varies according to patients, oral medication is given to control pain in the first few days. Discomfort is usually based on the extent to which the location and number of areas treated. Most swelling and bruising will heal in the first 2 weeks, but can persist for up to 6-8 weeks. #pain #healing

Yup!  You are healing. Histamine is released during the process and it really itches sometimes.  I sometimes prescribe an antihistamine.  Check out some topical antihistamines at the pharmacy.  You can even try Voltaren Gel (You need a prescription).
I hope this helps

Most of patients are comfortable and asymptomatic 6 weeks after liposuction. Occasionally after performing aggressive superficial liposuction, soreness, numbness, needling may continue. MASSAGE and ultrasound may prove to be helpful.

The lumpiness, swelling, itching and hardness after a surgery like you had typically persists at least 8 weeks after the surgery then slowly goes away. In my experience, daily massage of the hard areas makes the biggest difference in getting rid of it sooner rather than later. Staying away from salt will make a big difference in swelling. It can easily take 6 months or more to see results. Be sure to keep any scheduled follow up appointments you have with your surgeons for his evaluation and advice. Hope this helps.
