Matthew Schulman, MD · Answer

Itching after your BBL can be normal. But it can also be a sign of other things more serious (although unlikely). Your surgeon is the best person to address your concerns, so you should give him or her a call and be evaluated in person to be sure. Your surgeon should welcome your questions, since post-operative care is important and part of the service that you paid for.

Marco A. Pelosi III, MD, FACOG, FACS · Answer

Itching is common with lipo garments especially in the first few weeks. Make sure you have a spare garment so that the material can be kept as clean and as dry as possible. If you develop a skin rash, see your surgeon.

Elena Vega, DO · Answer

Feeling itchy in your garment following liposuction is very normal.  You want to do your best to keep your garment on at all times for as long as instructed by your surgeon.  It is an integral part of your healing process.  If the itching becomes overwhelming, you should contact your surgeon to discuss your discomfort and together you can come up with a solution.
