I had liposuction on my stomach 6 weeks ago is is normal for it to still be swollen and painful to touch?
Dear msshelly84, it is completely normal to have swelling and pain six weeks after undergoing liposuction. Liposuction is an invasive procedure, so the swelling and pain are natural responses to parts of the body being surgically altered. Most patients will experience swelling and pain for up to six months after surgery, so at the moment you shouldn’t be too concerned about swelling and some sensitivity. If your abdomen becomes significantly swollen or if the pain becomes unbearable, make sure to contact your plastic surgeon immediately so that he or she can ensure that you heal properly and without issue.
