Is soreness from lipo after almost 4 months normal? (Photos)

August 15, 2018

I had lipo and abdominoplasty on May 1st and it’s still super sore in the lipo areas on my hips and bra fat area....so much that it’s sensitive to the touch when I’m rubbing it or pulling clothes on and off. I’m currently in use of a wound vac and have a PICC line due to my incision opening and having MRSA inside the wound. Additionally, I have a large area of swelling in my abdomen that no one can seem to explain to me. Could the infection be the cause of this soreness and swelling?
