Why do I have itchy skin after a TT, Lipo, BBL? (Photo)

Question

3 days post op and my skin is itching like crazy. What do I do? I had Lipo and a TT

Dear hughesSculpted,Congratulations on having your surgery already done. Itchy skin after TT/Lipo and BBL its probably cause because of the use of the compression garment. This usually tends to produce dry skin. I recommend you to wear a cotton shirt under the garment and always keep it well moisturized ! Best wishes.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
The itchy skin can come from the compression garment, I recommend my patients to use the garment for at least 3 months 24/7 to obtain the best results, however it is important use the correct one. I suggest that you discuss the best options related with garments with your PS. 
Good luck :)

It is normal to experience itchy skin after any surgery. Usually dead skin cells accumulate and cause flaking and itching .  Compression garments also cause itching. Use cotton tank tops under your garment and moisturize your skin. Best wishes

Itchy skin is normal after liposuction. It is usually an itch that you don't find relief with scratching, so be careful as you can scratch your skin raw. Sometimes benadryl can help but not always. If your skin is dry or flaking which is common make sure it is moisturized that will help too. The amount of time this itching lasts varies from patient to patient.
