Asked By:rparker1985 in Providence, RI

TT & lipo. 8 days post-op. Skin irritated around entire incision (see pic) It's very uncomfortable. Before I took pic's I had applied cicalfate around the incision. This is making it look a bit shiny and you can see the cream is white. I did not put any directly on incision. Any suggestions on helping this heal? My waist measurements is 4 inches bigger then before surgery! Is that normal? When determining size of bonito to order, do I go by current measurevent or pre-surgery measurement?
