I got a BBL and now I’m getting burns like skin irritations and my skin is peeling? (Photos)

Question

I got a bbl on June 1 st and now my skin is slowly peeling and looking like I burnt it some how, I haven’t been wearing my garment because everytime I use it my skin gets worst I’m very tender all over my body and I feel like I have lumps on my side and my lower abdomen. I haven’t used my garment for about 1-2 days because my skin hurts too much when I put it on.

This looks like epidermolysis. This could be due to a burn or friction burn. It would be useful to know what type of technique the surgeon used during the operation. There are some types that could possibly burn the skin. If it is a burn, it should be treated with proper wound care such as antimicrobial creams.

Greetings. Thank you for the question. It would be best to contact your surgeon and follow up when possible. It is not unusual to have changes in sensation and/or swelling. Any skin changes should be evaluated. Best wishes.
