I have some mild pain in my upper abdominal muscle on one side only that only started 3 days ago. It is not constant - it only hurts in certain positions (and is relieved a lot from putting my binder back on). I followed all post operative instructions. What could it be? I’ll be seeing my PS in a few days but would value some additional options now. Thank you.

Answer: Pain in muscle 7.5 weeks post op Hello and thank you for your question. You will have intermittent pulling sensations probably for the first year after surgery. They aren't alarming but they just tend to remind you here and there. Some of my patient's like wearing their binder weeks to months after they are no longer required.

Answer: Muscle pain after lower body lift Congratulations on your lower body lift, 321NK! Occasional and mild muscle pain and soreness are not unusual up to three months after your body lift, so I don’t think you have to worry about it. Your tightened muscles may be stretching and getting used to its new shape as you move around. Still, it’s best to ask your reputable and board-certified plastic surgeon about it. Best of luck!
