Skin Still Burning 5 Months After Liposuction?

gothamgirl
I had liposuction 5 months ago and my skin is still burning in one area (inner thigh on one leg). I had multiple sites lipo'd, but the rest of my body is fine. I've called the doctor's office several times to see if this is normal. The answer is always yes, it is normal. The doctor never calls back but lets the office coordinator answer my questions. I would like an answer from a doctor. My question is....IS it really normal to experience this after 5 months?
