Hi I had lipo to my back and flanks and a tummy tuck 4 weeks ago. Last week I went to my ps because (on my back the two incision site where they went in to do lipo) begin leaking. In addition to that I had terrible back pain and the area was swollen. I knew something was wrong because after I had lipo to my back that pain went left. My ps took samples and put me on meds. Results came back a week later and it was mrsa. The lipo incision site turned into a staph is this common or deadly.

The side that is still itchy should get better with time.Your surgeon may want to remove soem extra fat on the side that is underdone.This could probably be doen in the office if it is a small area.
Thank you for your question. The cost varies depending the surgeon and the location. My recommendation is to be consulted by board certified plastic surgeon, specialized in Body Contour, who knows individualize each patient to give you the better advice.
Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
Numbness is normal at six weeks. Lumps should be improving. You should see some results. Here's how it goes:
Immediately - results are visible (End of surgery)
Swelling conceals results days 1-5 (Inflammatory phase)
Healing protein keeps you swollen - 5-6 weeks...
