Is it normal to feel like the skin layers are glued on the inside? Laser liposuction 16 days PO to U/L Abs and around waist.

Asked By:waist bound in Mid Florida, FL

I had laser lipo to my U/L abdomen and all around waist area 16 days ago, I still swell especially when I sit for long periods of time. But as of yesterday, I've been feeling like there's tightening inside my skin. I massage myself often and I feel everything get softer. But the glued like feeling inside is still there. Is that part of the healing process? AND.. Is it normal to have numbness in areas that were not suctioned? (Such as My hips and upper butt area)
