Burning stretching sensation after liposuction

Question

It's been 6 months since my Lipo and I have this painful sensation on my flanks. Especially when I stretch. It almost feels like a burning pulling sensation.

hello nancy0421  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. I would advice you to visit or contact your PS about this concern. #flanks #post-op

Sean Doherty, MD, FACS · Answer

You need to schedule an appointment with your surgeon to be examined in person. It's really the only way to determine whether this pain is temporary or due to some kind of internal damage. Best of luck.

Mark Taylor, MD · Answer

It is best to check back with the doctor who did your liposuciton to see if there is anything that is causing your discomfort and also treat it if necessary.
