Answer: Are there certain beds that are better to sleep in followng tummy tuck?
Thank you for your question.It is quite common to be constipated after surgery, especially while taking narcotics. I tell my patients to try to ween off of the narcotics as soon as possible and to push foods that help with constipation such as high fiber foods, prune juice, staying hydrated, ...
I don't think this is an infection. It does look irritated. Make sure there are no sutures to be removed by checking with your surgeon and I wouldn't clean it too much, just let soapy water run over the area.Best Wishes!!
You will have some skin retraction after your C-section, and you will likely lose a good bit of weight after the baby. For this reason as well as practical and safety reasons, I like to wait 6 months.
