Skin very sensitive and abdomen sore 4 months after lipo to abdomen and waist. Skin and waist hurts

pain and swelling are common after the procedure but I have never had a patient in whom the pain lasted beyond 2 weeks. consult with your surgeon to make sure its all part of the healing. 

please contact your physician or see a revision specialist for a second opinion.  This should not be a symptom you are experiencing at this time point in your healing.  Best, Dr. Emer.

What type of liposuction did you have performed?  Some can cause more sensory issues than others. Best for you to see you surgeon.

Typical discomfort after liposuction is often described as muscle soreness and is typically resolved by five to seven days.When liposuction is done more aggressively, then patients will often have postoperative pain for longer.It is unusual for patients to experience postoperative pain for more than two weeks after liposuction.When adjuvants, such as heating-inducing lasers or ultrasound assistance, are used, then the period of discomfort can be lengthened.Hernias can often be detected by physical examination and sometimes be confirmed with a CT scan or MRI.Chronic postoperative pain is difficult to manage.Continue following up with your doctor.Hopefully he or she is a board-certified plastic surgeon.At this point, you may want to consider seeing a chronic pain management specialist.Be very careful of engaging in the long-term use of narcotic pain medication.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
