1 Week After Lipo my Pain is Significantly Worse, What is Going On?

October 8, 2011
Asked By:Brooklyn1379 in Brooklyn, NY

I had lipo on my abdomen and flanks 8 days ago. I took percocet the first 3 days or so and then didn't need it. Today, the pain is bad! A significant increase in discomfort and swelling. No infection as far as I can tell, but MUCH more pain at waist and hips starting last night and through today. From what I've read, the pain should be easing, not getting worse. What's going on? I have wearing the compression garment continuously and have checked that it isn't too tight or loose.
