Are burns from garment after liposuction normal? (Photos)

November 13, 2017
Asked By:Cranberry1101 in Charleston, SC

I received lipo of the abs and flanks on 11/1/17. I am experiencing burns from my garment that are now peeling, exposing pink flesh. My physician has advised me to continue to wear my garment. This doesnt appear to be the best route seeing as though these are burns. Any suggestions?
