Itchy red raised rash after lipo?

November 19, 2013
Asked By:Svetabar

I had a hip, thigh, and abdomen liposuction a week ago. Three days after the surgery, some large skin areas where the syrgery was done developed raised red itchy rash. I am taking antihistamine for that. I have also been wearing a compression garment. Could it cause the rash? Is the rash common after liposuction surgeries? Thank you.
