Is the burning/tingling sensation after lipo normal 4 weeks post op?

Maris08sfm
I am having a burning tingling sensation in my abdominal area, flanks, and back where I had my liposculpture done. The feeling comes and goes, but it more often there. I am 4 weeks post op and I am concerned about this. Is this type of burning sensation normal, and does it ever go away? Could this mean that I still have fluid in those areas or could it mean inflammation. I have taken Tylenol but it doesn't help at all. The pain killers help temporarily. What can do to elevate this ?
