Hi! Thank you for your question. After first making sure the itching isn't an allergic response to adhesive tape or your compression garment (there would usually be redness if this is the case, but best to consult your doctor), it is most likely caused by nerves that were irritated during the procedure. A "tingling" sensation from this nerve irritation is not unusual after liposuction either. For severe itching, benadryl may be helpful. Tylenol can also be very useful. Moisturizer may help with less severe itching. Rest assured that it will improve on its own with time.
Many patients experience some aging of the skin after liposuction. Scratching will release histamine and should be avoided since it will aggravate the problem. Cool compresses will give temporary relief. Antihistamines such as Benadryl may Be of benefit.
Benedryl lotion and/or benedryl tablets may help relieve the itchiness after liposuction.Consult your surgeon for advice and guidance.
This may be related to nerve function returning after the procedure and may take several weeks to resolve.
Liposuction seems reasonable based upon your pictures.Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of liposuction procedures each year. Look for great reviews and great before and after pictures.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
One problem should be brought to the attention of your surgeon but they are fairly common with the type of operation You describe.Usually these will close spontaneously with proper one care
These are both pretty small procedures that may only cost a few thousand dollars.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
. Most plastic surgeons employee compressive garments after liposuction.However, there is no objective evidence to suggest that they affect the final outcome.
. Generally, the incisionsWhich are actually small poke holes are of little consequence. After healing is complete. If there is a better place for the incisions from your point of view tell the plastic surgeon and he probably can accommodate that.
Thank you for your picture. I think that your liposuction has produced unevenness that requires revision. I would wait at least 6 months to allow the areas to soften greatly. Then revision liposuction +/- fat grafting can be done to improve your abdominal contour.Earl...
