Can a compression garment cause burns right after power assisted liposuction or tumescent liposuction?

December 30, 2013
Asked By:FaithandHope11 in California, CA

I have seen plenty of women get liposuction and have 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree burns, is it true they are caused by the compression garment or is this the surgeons technique? Whoever answers this question, is it normal to have burns from PAL or tumescent lipo, in your experience? Is this under the signed consent?
