Liposuction & Hydroxychloroquine causing severe swelling. Is there a solution?

Asked By:Gr33nT34 in OH

Hi, I had liposuction and a Brazilian butt lift 10 months ago. One of the medications that I take daily is Hydroxychloroquine. After surgery, it has caused severe swelling; in my face, abdomen area and back area. Are there any solutions to this issue? Before surgery I never had this issue. I've tried not taking the medication & the swelling went away. But, I can not do that ever again, I'll become ill.
