Answer: Itching after lipo Ask your surgeon for a prescription for Vistaril. It may work better than Benadryl. Ask your treating surgeon if they would be okay with you using hydrocortisone lotion.

Answer: Itching after liposuction Thank you for the question. It is rather difficult to fully evaluate your situation without an in-person exam. It is not uncommon to experience some swelling and discomfort following liposuction. In particular, the itchy sensation you're describing may be due to an irritation or disruption of the nerves. It would help to know when you had your procedure done. If it was done fairly recently, I don't think you have any major reasons to be concerned. Give it some time, these symptoms usually resolve on their own in six to eight weeks after the procedure.

Answer: Itchy after Liposuction There are a few possibilities as to the cause: 1) your pain med may be making you itch. This can happen even with no rash, 2) something touching your skin or that was put on your skin is making you itch (antiseptic placed at the time of surgery, the garment, etc.,) Usually this will give you a rash. 3) itch nerves are starting to come out of shock and are over reacting. These can be treated with medications like Elavil or GABApentin. Contact your doctor and report your problem and lack of results with the current recommendations to get relief. Be insistent if you have to be.All the best.
