I am one month post op, I have been wearing my compression garment as directed and today after a shower I noticed my belly button was red and a little painful. My insicion site is clear, it doesn't look infected, but it's red and bumpy. Could this just be irritation/chaifing?
Answer: Compression garments can irritate the skin I have seen compression garments irritate the skin, so you should visit your plastic surgeon to see what can be done to help the situation.

Answer: Post Liposuction Irregularities, Swelling -- Try Massage, Velashape or Venus Legacy With Your Compression It takes weeks to see the results of liposuction and swelling can last for months. Massage, RF treatments and hyperbaric oxygen will drastically reduce swelling. In my practice most of my patients have very little pain 1 week after following my liposuction post-op protocol. I suggest speaking with your physician if you have irritation from your garments. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Follow-up Question: Can my compression garment cause irritation of my belly button? Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs. Though irritation of the belly button can occur with friction from a compression garment it appears that your redness along the inside of the belly button may be the result of a retained suture and should be seen by your surgeon in-person for possible removal. Hope this helps.

Answer: Belly Button post liposuction From the pictures I can't tell for sure but I would probably call your Dr. office and at least have the RN see you. It could be an small infection but doesn't really happen just with compression. Let them know if you have any drainage, fever, tenderness etc. I think worth a call to your office.

Answer: Follow-up Question: Can my compression garment cause irritation of my belly button? Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well.. This is the surgical procedure that revolutionized cosmetic surgery becoming one of the most performed cosmetic procedures. Subcutaneous tissue or fat is removed in order to contour the body in a way that is harmonious and pleasing to the senses. It can be performed in almost all regions of the body such as the neck, chin, abdomen, back, buttocks, thighs, arms and ankles. Usually done through a small incision in the skin through which a cannula connected to a vacuum is applied, it can be performed alone or in combination with other procedures. After liposuction your body is going to be really swollen for at least 2 to 4 months after your surgery. It is important for you to wear your compression garment for at least 6 months, the first 3 months 24/7 and then the last 3 months at least 12 hours per day for your body get use to not having the faja for so many time. When you remove it, your body can get swollen and also you can have pain. Remember to also compress your body to prevent a seroma which is an accumulation of liquid that has to be drained, it is hard to touch and also really painful. Bruises are completely normal for almost 3 months from surgery, that’s why is better for you to use a bruising cream and apply it all over your body 3 times a day. To prevent bad circulation and swollen legs, use compression socks. Brazilian butt lift can be performed with the same procedure and for a month it will be swollen and it will drop a little bit without losing it’s shape if you use your garment.. If you’re going to perform liposuction on your inner, outer, anterior, lateral, postetior thighs, be careful and consult with your surgeon what’s best for you, sometimes we have more extra skin than fat, that can cause severe sagginess on our legs, which can be only be reversed performing a thigh lift.
