5 weeks post-op BBL with a lot of burning and soreness of lipoed areas. Is this normal this far out in recovery?

June 20, 2018
Asked By:N_like_Nancy

I am 5 weeks post op from lipo suction of abdomen, back, and flanks with fat transfer to buttocks/hips. I have resumed most of my normal activity. However I am still experiencing terrible burning sensation and significant soreness of abdomen, sides, and back. Basically everywhere that was liposuctioned is still extremely sensitive. I imagined feeling so much better than what I actually am feeling at this point in my recovery. Is this normal?
