It's been about 10 days since my Tummy Tuck and I haven't had any issues that haven't been answered except that I was using a back brace since my back was hurting so bad and the doctor said it was okay.
However, today, I noticed a spot where the tape over my incision line was bleeding. Is this normal and am I doing too much?
Answer: Bleeding Incision After Tummy Tuck Although your concern is understandable, superficial separation of the incision line after tummy tuck surgery can occur and usually heals without affecting the long-term outcome of the procedure. This healing process may take a few weeks to occur. Usually, re- suturing is not necessary and may expose you to the risk of infection…Close follow-up with your plastic surgeon (and patience) will be important. Sometimes removal of an exposed suture and/or removal of unhealthy tissue expedites healing. Best wishes; hopefully you will be very pleased with the long-term outcome of the coming of procedure.

Answer: Bleeding incision from irritating Tummy Tuck incision
It sounds as if the irritation of the suture line caused the bleeding. As long as the wound has not opened or is demonstrating increased redness or swelling, I do not beleive there is cause for concern. Make your surgeon aware. Occasionally a light application of peroxide, if permitted, will cleanse the dried blood.

Answer: Small about of bleeding/oozing is okay Sometimes the small skin edges ooze or bleed when you remove the tape. It sounds like this might be what is happening. However, if you are concerned, you should see your doctor for an evaluation.

Answer: Small amount of bleeding after Tummy Tuck normal It is not uncommon to have a small part of the incision open up a bit and bleed. Increased activity can be a factor in this as well. If it was a small amount of bleeding and the wound is intact, you should be fine. As usual, check in with your surgeon about this.
