I had liposuction way back in September. I have been trying to run lately but my hip really hurts. The pain is sharp. Until recently, I thought it was muscular but realized the pain is in the same area as the entry point for my liposuction. Is this scar tissue? Do I need it checked? Is there anything I can do at home to fix this? Thanks for any suggestions.
