18 days Post Tummy Tuck, Yellow Spots Along Incision? (photo)

July 5, 2013
Asked By:Estie13

I'm a 24yr old male, very fit and active before my tummy tuck, non smoker! My incision was healing nicely but then it began to weep in the centre above pubic area, my surgeon put me on bactroban and a course of antibiotics which I have just finished today. I seen my surgeon 2days ago and he said I am healing nicely and my incision is looking a lot better. However I am concerned that I have fat necrosis or a staph infection. There is no smell from the wound and changing dressing daily

Would an Obese Man, Whose Stomach Has Dropped Below His Genitals Benefit from a Tummy Tuck to Undo the Shortening of His Penis?
Ronald J. Edelson, MD says:
