Can you get new stretch marks after Liposuction? (photos)

February 8, 2016
Asked By:SGPR in Houston, TX

I had liposuction 10 day ago, and I have been wearing a compression garment since. The skin around my abdomen is itchy and flaky, and today I found what looks to be new stretch marks. Are they stretch marks or are they irritation due to the compression garment?
