Am I bleeding after liposuction?

November 8, 2014
Asked By:vilaiwanrita in Pawtucket, RI

I just got my upper abs, lower abs, hips, and waist done and I'm leaking a lot but when I touched my clothes my hands got covered in blood. I'm a little scared cause they said I would leak fluids but not so much blood. I'm just wondering if this is something I should worry about and what excess bleeding is and If I'm having it. I feel normal, no fever, no lightheadedness or anything. Thanks!
