Bruising and Blisters After Lipo After 5 Weeks? (photo)

January 8, 2013
Asked By:sleontorres

I am 5 weeks post tummy tuck with plication and lipo to the abdomen and hips areas. I developed large blisters on both hips where the edges of the dressing was. I still have significant bruising to my hips that looks more like healing burns. My understanding is the bruised/blistered area was where most of the lipo was done. I have not seen my surgeon, only his nurse several times. It does not look like cellulitis. Should I be concerned?
