Sharp, burning, 'pulling' pain 4 days post lipo. Is this normal?

bhillier
I am 4 days post op, liposuction of upper and lower abdomen and flanks. Starting yesterday I have noticed a burning, pulling pain a few inches above my left hip bone, around one of the adits that was left open. It feels like something under the skin is pulling very taut. The pain worsens when I move certain ways or sit up from a reclining position. Is this to be expected in the areas surrounding the adits as they heal?
