Induration After Tummy Tuck Infection?

    If the infection has been treated appropriately, then the induration may last weeks and months, longer now due to the infection in that area.

I'm sorry to hear about the complication you experienced after tummy tuck surgery.

Hopefully, the firmness  you are feeling is related to swelling and/or the resolving infection process. Sometimes, however the firmness this may be related to tissue that is somewhat  compromised in regards to blood flow.

 Of course, your plastic surgeon is your best resource for accurate diagnosis, treatment, and/or reassurance. Continue  close follow-up with him.

Best wishes.

Induration is a symptom of all that has gone on in your case. It sounds like you are frustrated, but you should make sure you follow all of your PS instructions. Ask to see your plastic surgeon more often and discuss if additional therapy, like massaging or medications, will help you. Best wishes, Dr. Aldo.
