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 was previously healing good and the past three weeks I have been getting really swollen and Ive been getting fevers is this an infection. What can I do I got this done in a foreign country and cant get ahold of my surgeon
About 4 days after surgery I broke out in hives on my back. They eventually went away but ever since my back has gotten more and more red. It is very uncomfortable and itchy. I had Liposuction on my abdomen and flanks, however, The redness is only on my back. My surgeon said it could be an infection, or a reaction to my compression garments (I have 2 different kinds). How long will this last? Its torture. Ive tried Benadryl and cortisone cream. It has been 3 full days of this
I am 3 days post op from lipo and a thigh reduction. There is redness and itching along the incision. Im on co-amoxiclav as a preventative for infection and have several days left of the course. Im wondering if it is a tape allergy? The incisions have been glued and then taped to allow me to shower, however I had this tape on my tummy tuck and breast reduction last year with no reaction. Im worried its an infection starting however my surgeon has gone away for a few days.
18 days PO from liposuction, certified Dr. in the USA. Noticed 1 day PO, @ 1 week PO, Dr. expressed concerns. Sent photo 2 weeks PO & said thought the spot was from a garment that was too tight. I wasnt buying it and went to the ER. Follow up 2nd opinion was concerned with red & treated both. Whats your opinions? Do I have skin necrosis with a side of cellulitis? No burn. None smoker. Healthy. Young.
I had a liposuction done a month ago on stomach, sides and back. My stomach is quite swollen and my back is very stiffed. I have been getting the massages as indicated. However, The last two nights I have been fever 100.6 The two nights I have taken ibuproffen and it has gone away. I am nervours i will continue getting fevers. Is this normal? Should I be concern about an infection?
hello i had abdomen, flanks, lower back lypo. 3 days later i seem to have bruise in my penis . it is dark . i read here in real self that is normal. but i am still worried since it is a very important and fragile part of the body. it does not hurt. i just want to make sure is not something serious like an infection or else.... also my lower back pain does not let me walk straight, i just want to make sure everything is ok because if i have something better to get check now
I had lipo exactly 10 days ago and have been changing my dressings daily but the holes where im assuming are the lipo wntry6points are looking really suspect. Like a tinge of green. Am i infected? What should i do my dr is out of town until the 28th and i am freaking out. Thanks in advance.
I'm 4 days postop submental lipo with muscle tightening and bucal fat removal. I had a drain from this ear for two days. Day 2 postop I toticed itching and burning. As I looked more closely today I see redness. I discontinued bacitracin and simply washed incision with peroxide and then water and dried. Should I be worried. My skin is red and I'm worried.
