Is it possible for slipping rib syndrome to occur during flank liposuction?

April 24, 2019
Asked By:Labrooks in Orlando, FL

I am 6 months post lipo of inner/outer thigh and flank liposuction. I absolute love the results, but still have a dull pain in my lower right side ribcage bottom, a 1/2 or so towards the back, but more on the side. I can feel a hard [RS bleep] feeling. It's sizable and unmistakeable. I DID consult my PS and he was unsure as to what it was. He said possibly scar tissue, but I'm think it's more related to my lower rib cage. I do aim to visit my general practitioner in hopes of seeking a diagnosis.
