I've suffered with chronic trochanteric hip bursitis for 8 years and get cortisone injections every 6 months to alleviate the pain. I'm scheduled for hip and stomach lipo on Wednesday 8/5/22. I'm wondering if having lipo in are area around the bursa will cause a flare up of bursitis. The PS said it should not be a problem, but I'm concerned. I really want the lipo, but not if it's going to make the bursitis worse.
