Tummy tuck not healing as much as expected - is this normal after 6 months? (Photo)

Yes, based on your few posted photos it appears you had a underwhelming tummy tuck performed with severe postoperative complications. Best to virtual consult with. Recommend ultrasound or MRI of abdomen ASAP to rule out residual seroma hematoma or infection pockets. Revision of full tummy tuck if approved for surgery at this time would be $10-$20,000. Again best to virtual consult with.

Breathe 196071,

Thank you for your pictures. I'm sorry that you had to deal with this. If you still have drainage out of areas of your incision, this needs to be managed completely. That may require additional antibiotics and/or removal of those drainage areas surgically, and leaving them open to heal naturally. This may be the best option. The reason I say that is your scars are slightly wide, and in my opinion with the significant revision in the future to chief anesthetic result. Definitely visit with several board certified Plastic Surgeons to get your best treatment options.

Best wishes,

Hello; normally, Abdominoplasty surgery; it heals up in 15 days. At 1 month, it looks pretty good. However, as far as I can see in your photos; there is a stitching reaction. It is placed under the skin and used by the body; during the biological process of healing; in suture materials, that need to be absorbed without problems; if the suture is placed superficially or even if, it is not superficially stated; if the hydrolysis event cannot be carried out sufficiently; it's like, it's filled with inflammatory fluid; small cystic areas are formed. When these are pierced and emptied; they will heal up quickly. Because, you have an infection; that may happen differently and longer period for you.
