I have had Liposuction of the abdomen and back 6 days ago. I knew I would have some discomfort but I never thought my nightmare would be my compression garment. I haven’t slept in 6 nights and the swelling just seems to be getting worse. The garment is digging into the creases on my stomach but when I asked my surgeon he said it should be fine. Shouldn’t I be getting better not worse? I also feel a burning sensation around the effected areas and a chill after. I just want to tear this garment off!!

Thank you for your question. Liposuction is a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss solution or a solution for inflammation, so it would not be able to help your problem. I would seek the expertise of your family doctor. Best of luck!
