What causes some people to itch after liposuction and a bbl?

Dear Ms.  Squirt64,Thank you for your information and questions. I would ask your Plastic Surgeon this question.However here are my comments:Itching can occur after any surgical procedure due to various causes:1)medications: antibiotics, pain medication, etc...2)garment3)bruised nerves 4)post operative healing. Usually these symptoms are is temporary and will resolve. However if it is significant and you develop a rash or hives I would call and discuss Your symptoms with your surgeon. I trust you have chosen a Plastic Surgeon who is experienced and Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. In addition ideally a members of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (denoting by membership as having met additional criteria and a focus on Cosmetic Plastic Surgery).I wish you my best and success,R.

Thank you very much for your question.Itching is typically caused by the nerves being swollen/irritated, and goes away with time.  If it's your skin that's itching, I would also just make sure you aren't having some kind of a rash (reaction to the garment, prep, or a low-grade yeast infection due to the area being damp).  You may want to discuss this with your doctor and see if they have any recommendations.Best of luck!

You can have itching after any surgical procedure due to various reasons. This can include anabiotics, pain medication, garment, and sometimes post operative healing.  Usually this is self-limiting and resolves on its own. However if it is significant, it's best to discuss it with your surgeon. Best of luck!Dr. Dhaval PatelSchaumburg, Barrington, oak brook, Chicago
