Hi, I'm 10 days post op liposuction. Earlier today I slipped and fell and landed very hard on my lower back, on incision. I had my back flanks done and hips and above buttucks area. Now I am in so much pain spasms come and go above and around buttucks. I'm still in garment, I checked wound no bleeding but it is thorbing heaps and feels like it's swelling. My question is what happens to the area I treated after falling hard on it. Is there going to be damage and have I ruined anything.
