Is it normal to still have intense itching on my upper tummy, abdomen and back 6 weeks after lipo?

Dear BabeNabila,Thank you for your question. It is common for patients to have some mild itching or "ants" feeling as sensation returns. The intense itching you describe is not typical in my practice. You should make sure you are not having any type of allergic reaction or other legitimate medical cause.Best regards,Nirmal R.

Itching is fairly common after surgery.  This may be organic in nature. If there is any sign of rash or allergic reaction, that would be something different.  If your plastic surgeon does not think it is lipo related, consult with your PCP to see if benadryl would help.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to six months to see your final results, so please be patient. At the stage you are in, itching is normal due to the nerves healing.
If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)
