I had lipo of back of arms, circumferential thighs & abdo 5 days ago. I now have pitting oedema of both arms & cramping of both hands & feet. I had it done overseas & I'm back home now so I can't see my doctor- any ideas what could be causing it?
I wear my compression garment daily and had lipo on my thighs and knees. How would I be able to tell if I had an infection? What would cause an infection? Sometimes it hurt to walk, a tad bit of burning at times and I am 1 week post op. So now my skin looks like it went from black bruising to red. Ive called my surgeon so I am going in to have him take a look. I had general anesthesia as well.
I had my surgery 6 days ago, liposuction of abdomen, flanks, back and arms. Today I feel more floated and swollen than 2 days ago. It is normal? I will begin my pos-op massage tomorrow and my doc tomorrow will take off my drainage from my back
Hi I am one week an one day post op of liposuction in my flanks and outer/inner thighs. I had my One week follow up appointment yesterday and all went well. This morning I noticed my Both of my feet near my ankles are blue. They are not painful and with the naked eye they do not look swollen, however when I take a photograph it looks swollen to me in the photograph. Should I be concerned about this? Is this a reaction to the liposuction?
I am seven days post-op from abdominal and flank liposuction. The pain has been minimal (comparable to an intense workout recovery), with the exception of sneezing. I feel an intense burning/ripping sensation when sneezing, beside or below navel. I'd say a 7/8 on a scale of 1-10. Hugging a pillow offers minimal comfort. Is this ripping/burning type of pain expected? I'm assuming its nerves recovering, but curious because I havent seen this covered anywhere. TIA!
Hi Im about 1 week post op from having liposuction and really concerned about this pudge I have under my belly button.. is this from swelling or is there a chance this might be permanent? Ive been wearing my compression (faja) almost 24 hours a day. Please let me know..
I got ab lipo done 8 days ago. No drains, just stitches. 48 hrs later, I developed fever 98,6- 100,4 F. My surgeon had me on 3 different antibiotics by IV for 6 days. I did abdominal CT, there is very little fluid in the liposuctioned area and besides that, all is normal. Now my surgeon has taken out the stitches, told me the wound has healed properly, and the ongoing fever has nothing to do with the lipo. I have 10 inch long hard lump below my belly button. Can this be the source of inflammation?
I had lipo to my trunk area and fat transfer. No smoking one week prior. I'm 7 days Post op. Day 5 & 6 I had 4 total cigarettes. After reading on the damages smoking can cause after lipo, I will not smoke again. My doctor told me to stop smoking about 2 weeks prior and about 3-4 week post. I agreed but never took it seriously until now. I know I done some damage already. My question: Is it to late for my blood vessels? Can the damage be undone? Can I still have successful results?
Hello dear community. Im 8 days post op of Lipo for fat grafting taken from inner thighs(25 ml each), no compression needed, because of little amount, my doc said. Since Friday there is this redness in my bruise. It itches and hurts while walking or touching it. My bruise is better, but the redness is still the same. Infection? Allergic? Fat necrosis? My doctor said from the pictures its normal, but Im not sure...I had Lipo before and never experienced this. Any ideas or suggestions? Thank you
