I am PO day 9 from lipo of flanks, TT, BL and implants! The last 3 days I have been extremely itchy where lipo incisions are. There is a stitch in incision. Today I woke up and there is a rash all around it and swollen. There hasn't been any tape or anything on it for days! Off all meds...-and been taking benadryl around the clock!
Answer: Should I be concerned with this rash? A rash after your liposuction can occur for a variety of reasons. It could be a reaction to medications, contact dermatitis from your compression garments, or a sign of an infection. Please contact your plastic surgeon address your concerns immediately, especially if there is a chance that you may have an infection. Thank you for sharing your photos and concern. Best wishes.

Answer: Report postoperative rash to your surgeon. It looks as though you have an allergic reaction either to the topical prepped or two and adhesives. It's also possible you have an allergy to antibiotics if you're taking them. In any event you should report this to your surgeon.

Answer: Should I Be Concerned About The Red Rash On My Abdomen? The rash that your photographs demonstrate could be any one of a number of possibilities. In my opinion, the most likely possibility is that the rash is a sign of infection and the redness on your abdomen is referred to as cellulitis. At this juncture, it is absolutely mandatory that you call your plastic surgeon. If he or she is unavailable and has no backup plastic surgeon on call, then I recommend going directly to an emergency room. Early treatment is mandatory.
