Abdominal pain after liposuction LIBRE

Mrs. X, 55, had abdominal liposuction 1 year ago.
A few weeks later Mrs. X begins to be embarrassed by wearing trousers. Wearing the belt (pants) becomes uncomfortable and then intolerable.
Mrs. X has since had pain in the lower abdomen and the root of the right thigh. On examination, there is a hyperesthetic zone (red zone). The scar at the entry point of the aspiration cannula is hyperalgesic (green zone) on palpation and rolling and partially reproduces its pain.
