Skin necrosis after liposuction? I'm 5 weeks post LiPo and BA (photo)

January 29, 2018
Asked By:Uni Vee in Toronto, ON

A few days after the surgery my nurse noticed some bruising at my sides. There were very visible dark marks on my skin (see pictures). Slowly one side began to become a bruise and then a scab and peeled off. The other side kept getting worse and became a deep wound. My surgeon says it was the compression garment pinching my skin. Its now a very deep wound so I'm hoping for advice on how to keep scarring to a min. As I'm sure there will be visible scar tissue
