I had 360 lipo & bbl on jan 3rd. I’ve been itching since 7 days post and now I am 1 months post op. My itching, tingling, burning, sharp needle pains is driving me insane. It seems to play up 20x worst at bed time. When does it all end? I can’t function daily. I am currently taking preagabalin for the neuropathic pains but I can still feel it intensely. I’ve been miserable since surgery and need advice and help. My skin itself is fine with no infection as I’ve visted the doctors to confirm this.

Answer: Itching after BBL I’m sure you are miserable with such intense itching. In my experience, this is a temporary problem, lasting 2-3 weeks. I would suggest anti-histamines at bedtime, as long as they are safe to take with preagabalin. Otherwise, twice daily massage therapy with a neutral moisturizer should help speed your recovery and lessen the itching. Best of luck.

Answer: Itching after BBL Thanks for writing,Two things need to be considered. 1) external sources: Your garment and the latex may be a source, topical creams you may be using could be a problem. 2) Internal sources: Medications that you are taking, inflammatory response to the grafting itself, potential nerve injury as a result of the grafting or harvesting. I would check with your operating Plastic Surgeon as he / she knows exactly what was done and I am certain they can help you as there are lots of options. Good luck Stephen M. Davis, MD, FACS
