Yesterday I had a tummy tuck with Lipo and breast lift. The compression garment felt like it fit poorly in the vaginal area as one side of my labia was protruding out and it was very painful. At the end of last night I realized that entire side of my Labia was black. Like extremely black and blue and very swollen. Just one side. Not sure why this is happening to me. Thanks in advance

From board-certified doctors and trusted medical professionals
Given your health history, I would first get clearance from your primary care physician, cardiologist and vascular surgeon. If they all give you the go ahead, then book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area (link below) to discuss your options. Best, Dr. Nazarian
There is a variable amount of time to which it is
recommended that patients wear compression garments after procedures,
especially given the details of any patient varying from one to another. There
is usually the need to wear it 24/7 for the first couple of weeks, and then it
can be taken off...
There is the potential for either topical numbing or an
injection as the drain is removed by your surgeon, so he would be the only one
to answer your question as to which will be used. Since there are various types
of drains available, with both minimal pain and even completely painless
options...
