2 1/2 weeks Post-Op. Why does the Pain and swelling seem to be getting worse?

March 13, 2017
Asked By:VeeNeedsToKnow in San Diego, CA

I got Lipo done to my abdomen, flanks, and "Back Boobs". My back area is looking good but my flank area hurts a lot and my stomach looks more swollen and hurts a lot also. OMG and the itch seems to get worse day by day. I know I'm early in the recovery but is this normal? And this thing called zapping My Gawd I just want to rip my abdomen off until it heals the pit it back when it's done.
