Is it normal to have pain 8 months after liposuction?

January 7, 2018
Asked By:sellingstuff in Philadelphia, PA

I had a minimal amount of abdominal liposuction with my breast lift 8 months ago. My lipo post op pain was unbearable for the first week but slowly got better. That said, 8 months later, I still have tender areas. Is this normal? Most of what I read is that others had significantly less pain that did not last nearly as long.
