Is intense pulling sensation when standing normal at 2 weeks post-op? (Photo)

Foreign sensations are not uncommon in the early healing period. Most of it will resolve. Skin contraction is expected as part of liposuction. Massage can help. I would allow for 3-6 months prior to passing judgements.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Labrooks. I appreciate your concern, but it sounds like you are experiencing normal sensations after liposuction of those regions. The tight feeling may be related to your skin contracting after the procedure as swelling is resolving.  That is a good thing!  Try to stay patient and positive and follow up with your plastic surgeon. Good luck.

You are still in your very early days following the procedure. You need to massage the area and allow the tissues to settle down. Scars and newly operated tissues can take about 12 to 18 months to mature fully. 

This may be due to swelling, but I recommend following up with your practitioner if you're concerned. It is too soon to tell what your final results will be. You have swelling, which can last 3-6 months after your procedure. I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Dear Labrooks,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to six months to see your final results, so please be patient. At the stage you are in, what you are feeling is completely normal, due to the nerves healing.
If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

Looks like you are doing well and may just have some issues with sensory nerves which will pass. Several days of Inuprphen or Aleve might help as well as gentle massage. Dr MandracciaBoard Certified Plastic SurgeonFt Myers, Fl
