After tummy tuck, fluid leaking from bellybutton

By Ciremulb on 20 Feb 2012

Abdominoplasty 5 1/2 weeks ago in Mexico. Coming out of anesthesia I ripped the drain out. Replaced 4 hours later. 10 days after surgery the drain fell out and the wound healed quickly. The fluid started leaking from my bellybutton. If I leaned over the sink and massaged my stomach it would squirt out. I have been tested for infection and that is negative. It has now stopped but because my bellybutton has healed. Should I be worried that the fluid is still being produced with no place to go?

Thanks to the Dr.'s that commented. I'm heading to Mexico on Monday for a follow up with the PS. I'll keep you posted.
