8 Months Tumescent Lipo Post Op - Still Experiencing Pain and Swollen?

bluparachute
hello! I had lipo done on my love handles, lower and upper abs, flanks, inner thighs, inner knees, and mid thighs for a breast fat grafting procedure. It has been 8 months post op but I am still experiencing pains from neuropraxic injuries, and a hard swollen stomach and love handles. I have always been very fit and had a smooth stomach, but now I have a muffin top so now it looks like I gained weight instead of lost. Is this normal? Also there are very large dimples where the scars are. help!!
