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

N_like_NancyJun 20, 2018
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?

Hi, Ultrasonic cativation helps tighten loose skin. It can be very effective when used as it treats specific areas of fat deposits. Best of luck!

Hello thank you for your question and provided information as well..based on your question it is difficult to evaluate your case without photos, my recommendation is a consultation in person with a certified plastic surgeon that sees you and evaluates what you need.
