I am currently two weeks post liposuction of my abdominal flanks and back. I've had a belly ring for over 15 years and I removed it prior to surgery and have yet to put it back on because I am still very swollen, however today I tried putting it in and it barely goes through. Is the piercing still there or has the lipo diminished it somehow?
