3 weeks post op lipo insanely itchy. Why? What can I do to help it?

September 20, 2017
Asked By:audreyb4 in Calabasas, CA

I am 3 weeks post op lipo of thighs, back, abdomen, and flanks. For the past 4 days I've had itchy intense spells. I am itching in the areas that were treated but also my hand and feet. The itching is intense. There is no rash or anything. I know it's not my garment because some days I didn't even wear my garment. I haven't eaten any new foods or changed soaps and I am not on any medications. I called my PS and he said he doesn't think it's related to the Lipo...?
