Hello, I asked a question about a week ago due to my trouble with my incision with my mini tummy tuck. Im about 3 days away from a full month post op and I had a new problem arise. Not only is my hole in my incision growing larger and deeper but I have a line of stitcheshanging out (painful).I feel like I should not be having these problems a month post op. Also I did contact my surgeons office but they said I dont need to be seen and just to let it heal. Its not healing, just growing bigger.
I had a mini tummy tuck and i didn't have drains, after 2 in a half weeks I started having leakage from my belly button which was also revised. I'm now going into week 5 post op and for two weeks the leakage smells like poop. I had cultures done on me and it came back that i have an infection so I take antibotics and its still leaking and smelling what should I do or what is this, is this serious?
I had liposuction of my upper & lower abs, sides, back, with a mini tummy tuck, & a fat transfer to buttocks 32 days ago & it doesn't appear I had surgery at all aside for the pain, swelling and a tummy incision that looks to be improperly sutured I look the same as I did before the surgery. Shouldn't my abdominal area be flat by now? My abdomen is still fat... I see no difference in my body structure. What should I do? Also, my incision is hard and looks buckled. How can that be fixed?
Top portion is hanging over scar also. Dr drew short very low line day of ... you can see scar is very high and very long .. She also insisted on flank lipo .. but went in at widest hips location. Those incisions became very infected and I am being treated by another doctor. I am trying to remain calm . Very unhappy .. thank you
I had my 1 month post op visit and my PS said I could stop wearing my binder. I've been wearing it 24/7 since my surgery. I keep reading 6 weeks for a lot of women. I hesitated when he advised me and he said I have 1 week to stop wearing it, I think he felt my resistance. He also said since I didn't get liposuction that a compression garment isn't necessary. Will this affect my end result by not wearing it longer? I hated the binder and trust my PS but want to know if this is common?
Hi...I had a mini tt on Dec 22nd...I went home with a drain for a wk n had it removed...I developed a seroma at almost 3 wks post op and went back to my ps and he put me back under on Fri Jan 9th...drained my seroma and sent me home with another drain...its been 4 days tmrw and my drain is not putting out anymore fluid in the last 24hrs....my post op apt is in 4 days..if my fluid is gone and my drain keeps staying dry, can it stay in till my post op without giving me a problem?
Mini TT w/lipo in the flanks 5 wks ago. Drain removed 1-wk post op, seroma developed. PS aspirated the seroma on multiple occasions successfully. 3rd trip in, gave me a local , reopened incision, & removed 230 cc fluid. Grew back.More aspit, no fluid. Dr. reopened it, removed 150 cc fluid.2nd drain was removed 5 days ago& while the seroma improved,there is a lip over incision. Tried to aspir yesterday.Time frame abnormal? 5 weeks out. Will that lip go away? Nothing buttons! Is this normal?
