Bruise turned into scab after liposuction? (Photo)

Hello,

You appear to have burns on your back and abdomen. Discuss with your surgeon whether he used an augmented type of liposuction like laser, ultrasound, or radio frequency.  This would not happen with liposuction alone. Best of luck!

This looks like necrosis of the skin, likely the skin and blood vessels were damage during the procedure. I suggest wound care, hyperbaric oxygen and speaking to your physician at this time.  Best, Dr. Emer.

It is unfortunate that this has occurred. This area that appears "bruised" is actually evidence of skin necrosis. This represents damage to the underlying skin which occurred during your liposuction. At this time, you will require wound care and possible debridement of this necrotic skin. You need to return to your surgeon, who will be better able to assist you.

It is for reasons such as this- to ensure that you always choose a board certified plastic surgeon to perform your surgery. Good Luck with your healing.

Thank you for the question and photos and I would see my surgeon ASAP as what is occurring appears to be a complication of the procedure that needs to be treated.Dr. Corbin
