On 8/9 I had a mommy makeover .three days later I had severe pain in my left buttock/hip area ..no lipo was performed..that problem has resolved but 2 days later I began to have red raised hot itchy flare ups on my arms and legs. On 3 occasions I wokeup with my lips,eye or forehead swollen. My primary care says med allergyy. Why do the swelling face/lips happen at night while I'm sleeping? The swelling usually goes down in a day or 2 then I wake up to a new swelling on my face somewhere.
