Tummy Tuck High Blood Pressure Afterwards?

Mine was 177/116 after surgery on the 2nd night at the after-care facility. The EMT's were called because my blood pressure was so high. I was carted off to the emergency room and spent 2 days hospitalized. Before the surgery, my normal blood pressure was 115/75 (or around that). It's now been 2 weeks and 2 days and my blood pressure is back to normal. My cosmetic surgeon doesn't know why it happened.

If you think you might have more children, I would wait for a tummy tuck because any further stretching of the skin or muscles could ruin your result. You could have the hernia repair done to address your pain. I don't think that repairing a diasthasis through an incision by your bellybutton...

A seroma or fluid collection occurs often after tummy tuck. Quilting sutures at the time of surgery make it much less common. Treatment is to drain the fluid before it finds a way out (hole) or becomes infected or forms a bursa which requires surgery. I hope this helps.
