Question

Hi I have a very mild dribbling incontinence after lipo of abdomen and flank 3 weeks ago. Is this normal? I never had the problem before?

No, this isn't something that I've heard of before. I would speak with your surgeon and perhaps schedule an appointment with your Ob/Gyn or internist as well. Sorry that you are experiencing this. Best, Dr. Nazarian

I don't recall a patient ever complaining about this to me. This is a complaint I would report to your own surgeon.

No, incontinence due to liposuction is not the norm. Contact your surgeon. They will can review your issues and may consider a referral to a urologist / gynecologist.

Incontinence after liposuction is not a complaint I have heard before. Did you have a foley catheter during surgery?  Are you still on pain meds, etc..?  Check with your doc.
