I had Luposuction of the stomach, back and side flanks in 11/2015. I had about 7000cc's removed & I still have A LOT of discomfort and sometimes full on pain! It's mostly my lower back and side flanks, they feel very tight when moving. When I do move it feels like a burning stretching feeling! There is still some swelling but not too much..
