Itching after 2 months of lipo and fat transferred to hips, any ideas what could be the cause?

Question

It’s been two months since my surgery and I’v been itching all over for at list 1 month and I have pimples all over my body, what is going on?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I suggest starting RF treatments like Venus legacy, Inmode forma, or BTL Exilis along with shock therapy like Cellutone, z wave, revive or Cellutone.  Oral Neurontin can also help.  This is normal for months after liposuction as you are healing.  Massage can also help.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Sorry you are having trouble.  Please review this with you plastic surgeon.  It will be important to know what creams or other skin treatments you are doing.  Generally your PS should be able to resolve this for you, but if not may send you to a dermatologist.  Best of luck,  Dr. Romanelli

earthgoddess.   I appreciate your concern, however it sounds like some sort of allergic reaction or contact dermatitis.  Are you wearing a new elastic garment? Have you recently started using a new detergent to wash your clothes or soap in the shower? I recommend that you consult with a board-certified dermatologist as it is doubtful that your procedure is causing this problem. Good luck.

Tania Medina de Garcia, MD · Answer

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to six months to see your final results, so please be patient. At the stage you are in, itching is due to the nerves healing.
If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

from your description, this sounds like an allergic reaction. It could be evaluated by a dermatologist or also a specialist in allergy and immunology.  The surgery itself would not result in pimples all over your body.  Best wishes.
