Asked By:Gemini2007 in North Carolina, NC

Smart Lipo March 9, dark spot appeared Day 2 and now the peeling has started. What is the best care for this? I was told due to low blood supply, which I know the complications of Smart Lipo, but is it safe to just remove the black skin? Will it take longer for the healing because I have to cover it?
