Posted under Liposuction q&a

My skin died after liposuction. I am still draining and it has been almost four weeks since my liposuction. Is it normal?

I had Liposuction on the flanks and sides, the Dr. took out almost 5 liters. Three days after at my postoperative visit my right side started turning black and blue. I was in so much pain I had to have additional medication. The Dr didn't see me until a couple of days later. By then the skin was coming off and it looked like I was burnt. He Put Silvadane on the whole area, I'm found out I was allergic and it burned me even more. The fluid never stopped draining, now what? I look awful!
