Very itchy after Lipo...advice needed!

Hi everyone,

So I had a TT, an arm lift and lipo of the flanks on 12/21/12. I was told by my surgeon to wear the binder around my abdomen, but I am finding that I am becoming very itchy in the flank region, where he did the lipo. As I'm still bruised and mostly numb in that lower back area, scratching really either makes it itch more or it does nothing. Has anyone else experienced this? And if you did, what did you do that either helped, or took the itch away?

Any help or advice would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Jana

  • Jana: Try the softest , thinnest, cotton teeshirt under the binder. That did the trick for me. Good luck. Sue
