Hello, I had liposuction on my stomach back and waist 9 weeks ago, parts of my stomach is hard and lumpy lots of itchiness on back and stomach I have also a lot of tingle burning warm sensation in my back. Also could the heat be a sign of infection or inflammation I had my surgery abroad. Do I need to see my general doctor or is this all apart of healing what should I do .
Answer: Liposuction Recovery Angelina I appreciate your concern, however the symptoms that you described can certainly be related to your recovery from liposuction and should resolve with time. It can take as long as six months for a complete recovery. Follow up with your plastic surgeon to confirm my advice. Good luck.

Answer: Healing Thank you for your question. Yes it is normal to have the sensations you are having post surgery. You have to remember that it takes time for your body to heal. You are just 9 week post surgery. I tell my patients that the first 3 months about 60% of the swelling is gone and at 6 months all the swelling should be resolved, sometimes it does take longer. Once all the swelling is gone the tingling, itching and burning should subside. This is just you body healing from the procedure. Make sure you speak to your surgeon with any concerns you may have. Best of luck.

Answer: 9 weeks post with, burning tingling warm itching sensation. Is this normal? What you are experiencing is not uncommon post op. At this point in time your nerves which were severed during the surgery is starting to regenerate. Over sensitivity is normal as you heal thorough the next few weeks or months. It usually takes around 6 months post op to fully heal.

Answer: Tingling and lumpiness it's not normal to have a firm lumpy areas nine weeks after liposuction. It is not uncommon for patients to have numbness and tingling sensation for up to 2 to 3 months after the procedure. The sensation of tingling warmness and numbness will most likely improve and come back to normal but describing lumpiness at this stage makes me concerned that you will not have a good aesthetic outcome from your procedure.
