Everything with the healing process has gone great...

everything with the healing process has gone great so far except when i started to get the blisters. i did this because i wasn't happy with the way i looked. i am physically fit i just couldn't get rid of the pregnancy weight.

I recently had a tummy tuck and lipo of the flanks (love handles). I am getting blisters all around my surgical area.and i dont know if this is normal? how do i go about treating them?

Great review?

My Doctor: name not provided

At around 6 weeks po I got two blisters in my incision. They ended up popping and draining along with tiny pieces of mass. I went to the ps and was told it is what they call "spitting stitches". Your body rejects the stitches and needs to get rid of them. I am now 8 weeks out and everything is healing fine. Of course that area is a bit behind in the healing compared to the rest of the incision but I assume everything will heal just fine.
