Pain/Hardness 6 Weeks After Tumescent Liposuction?

April 17, 2012
Asked By:Amanda8706

I had Tumescent Lipo of the hips, abdomen, and flanks 6 weeks ago, my surgeon removed almost 5 liters of fat. I am extremely pleased with my results, and I wear my girdle and compression garment everyday. However, I still feel extremely sore, my skin is still numb/tingley, have sharp pains and burning around my healed incisions, and have hard spots around my vagina and the middle part of my chest below my breasts. I also do not have regular bowel movements or hardly any appetite. Is this normal?
