I had a light lipo on outer thighs and flank 10 days ago, only about 500cc. I was on antibotics and pain medication until yesterday and today I start feeling very tired and feverish. Is this normal? Some part of my body also have flaking skin. Does it have anything to do with the surgery?

Answer: After liposuction there is an inflammatory reaction that can cause a local increase in temperature but no fever
Soon after liposuction there will likely be lumps and bumps and skin will not have taken up fully.
To help resolve these issues massage of the area will encourage swelling to resolve and the skin and scar tissue to retension and soften.
It may take months and even up to a year, but...
To achieve the best results, patient should be at their goal weight as liposuction is not a form of weight loss. Liposuction removes the fat pockets and contours the body
