Drain Hole Not Closing, Very Painful. What To Do? (photo) I am 3.5 weeks post op. My left drain hole has not closed up. Last week it started very painful and leaking fluid, went to the PS on Tuesday and he said i had stitched popping through, He cut one out leaving another hole. I now have two painful holes next to each other. I have been putting neosporin and bandaids on it like directed. It isnot healing and very sore. Now the skin around it is getting raw as well. I am attaching pics of the bandaid I removed and the holes.

A: Tummy tuck drain holes

Drain holes typically close in a few days. From what I can see from your pictures these areas should heal shortly with the treatment you are doing. It would be a good idea to get rechecked by your doctor to make sure you are not developing an infection.

Can I Have a Tummy Tuck After an Abortion? My husband had a vesactomy 3 months ago. I found out I was pregnant had a medical abortion. Will my surgens to got ahead with my tummy tuck?

A: tummy tuck

You can still have a tummy tuck. You should not get it immediately afterwards. It would be best to wait a minimum of six weeks to allow your body to recover. Discuss this with your surgeon.

Almost 6 Months Post-op. How Likely is It to Damage the MR in a TT? First off, I want to thank all of you for your time. Anyway, I am 1 week out from being 6 months post-op TT/MR. I saw my Dr. last week and he said that it is safe to push it during exercise now. I have been exercising since 4 weeks post-op. I do crossfit and 2 days ago we did an abs intense workout and now I am EXTREMELY sore. How likely is it that I ruined the MR and how would I know? I called my DR. and he said to take ibuprofen and call back Monday if the pain was still extreme. Thanks again.

A: exercise 6 months after abdominoplasty should be fine

it is highly unlikely you caused any real damage this far out, but rest for a week or so, take ibuprofen, and when you feel better GRADUALLY resume exercise. sounds like you overdid it and caused this. if problem persists, you should go back and see your surgeon.

	“Life-changing in a Wonderful Way -...” I had had two children and extreme stretching around my stomach... no matter how much weight I lost or how fit I was, the loose skin was not going anywhere and took up a lot of space. I looked around for years for a decent doctor and finally settled on Dr. Capek. I am one of those patients who is VERY edgy when it comes to operations... and I did not want it to look like I had a cookie cutter... more
	“Can't Wait for my Tummy Tuck -...” I am a mother of kids (10, 5, and 3). I was a young teenager when I had my first child. Although I did not gain much weight, I got a ton of stretch marks. Then I gained about 10lbs with my 2nd and 3rd prenancies. Now my stomach looks disgusting. I sacrificed my body at such a young age, I feel that now I deserve something for me.Ok. So I have been reading a ton of material, and I am starting... more
	“Wonderful Experience, Awesome...” I am a 40 year old healthy active Mom, I developed diastasis recti or abdominal muscle separation after giving birth to my daughter five years ago. My muscle separation continued to worsen over the years. I tried physical therapy to try to work these muscles back together, which in some cases can help. In my case it didn't. I decided I would try to lose weight and after losing... more
	“Finally Fabulous @ 47 - Latham, NY” There were really no cons for me in deciding to do this-I had waited until I was fairly sure that my weight was stable, all pros for me!

I have wanted this for about 10 years now. I had a lot of stretch marks with my first child and I had a hernia with my second and a large baby.

	“14 Days & Counting to my TT and...” I have wanted a tummy tuck for about 4 years now and after 3 years of research & meeting with different plastic surgeons I decided to do it! My story ~ I have 3 kids (2 boys ages 9 & 8 and 1 girl age 5), all 3 were delivered via c-section (my oldest was 10lbs 4oz at birth, my second was 8lbs 11oz 3 weeks early and my third was 8lbs 1oz also 3 weeks early). In December 2006 I... more
	“Abdominal Numbness for 5 Years,...” Pros were self-confidence at first, less back pain, able to move around better to a point.Cons are the amount of numbness that won't go away even after 5 years, the awkward feeling when trying to do any abdomen work like crunches or stretches which keeps me from doing those moves, and a messed up belly button and dog ears that need to be fixed.I originally did it for the three pros listed... more
