I had a liposuction done on 6/9/16. The compression garment badly damaged my skin. I have areas that look pretty bad, they were very red and irritated the first five days post op. Now they have turned grayish dark brown. They are not bruises. I have always had skin issues where anything can leave a permanent discoloration (hyper pigmentation). What can I do to improve the appearance of my skin in those areas if I am still wearing the compression garment? Thanks.
