Tummy Tuck: Q&A
Ask a QuestionBelly Button Suture and Drainage
I am 22 days post op FTT. First six days, belly button healing nicely.Day 7, belly button bleedingred, pussy drainage. On day 10,at office saw another surgeon who saw "exposed suture and hole". Said to expect drainage as swelling would come out the hole. She applied silver nitrate and prescribed peroxide and sulfadine 2x daily. Today still leaking yellow puss and bloody at BB bottom. My surgeon did not even look inside it last week. Said wait 2 more wks. Should the suture be removed for healing?
