I just got a BBL and lipo from my abdomen flanks and back. This is my sixth day post op and I'm worried that this mark on my side won't go away. My surgeon was beating around the bush about it being a burn. He won't let me wear my faja for another week. I'm also worried if my body will lose shape from not wearing A faja. And what could this black/ purple -red patch be? How do I get rid of it?
