Soreness after liposuction - how long before it resolves?

May 22, 2015
Asked By:Fishnerd in Hoboken, NJ

I'm at 4 weeks. Many times just lightly touching my abdomen feel sore. Sometimes the simple friction of the garment tugging my skin when i walk feels sore. I would like to understand why this happens and why it takes this long to resolve. Lipo removed nerve endings, it's a procedure that shatters the framework of area and needs to be rebuilt. I understand that nerves re-establishing itself causes the itching, but what causes lingering soreness after 4 weeks? Thank you in advance for helping me understand.
