Hard to say: Burning can be from nothing to nerve inflammation and recovery, to infection, to stitches in the muscle popping. This is one of those questions you should definitely run by your surgeon!

See Surgeon.: Online consultants will not be able to provide you with precise diagnosis/and or meaningful advice or reassurance. Given your new onset of symptoms, best to be checked directly by your plastic surgeon. Best wishes.

Call your surgeon: You need to call your surgeon who knows what he has done, how he sutured you and where that pain may come from.

See your surgeon: Usually an irritated nerve. However, a seroma (fluid accumulation under the skin) can present as a burning stinging sensation. See your surgeon to make sure you don't have any liquid.
