Will Liposuction permanently affect my range of motion/flexibility?

March 9, 2014
Asked By:TrekkieX

I'm a circus performer (aerialist and contortionist) and had liposuction on my abdomen and flanks just under 3 weeks ago. I have minor swelling and the bruising is almost gone, yet I have numbness. I'm diligently wearing the compression garment, but when I've removed it to have a shower I've noticed that I can barely arch my back at all without feeling very "stuck" and feeling pulling on my stomach. Is this permanent or will this improve? How soon will it improv?? Help!!
