Asked By:Perfectme0 in San Diego, CA

I had abdominal liposuction a week ago and last night as I was laying down I felt a sharp pain on the right side of my abdomen. It's felt like I pulled a muscle or something and now I have to careful not to stretch the right side of my abdomen or I get that pain again. Is this normal? Did I hurt myself? Did my doctor hurt me during the procedure?
