I was totally happy with the results of my Tummy...

I was totally happy with the results of my Tummy Tuck. I've had 4 kids, and tons of stretch marks & saggy skin.

I healed pretty quickly. My biggest issue was that I don't do well on pain meds, so it was either feel the pain, or throw up! However, once that all passed, things were great and I'm so happy I did it!

I had a tummy tuck 15 months ago, and in the last couple of weeks I have had discharge with an odor out of my belly button. Is this normal so long after a surgery, and how do I make it go away?
Great review?

My Doctor: name not provided

Loved my surgeon & his staff. They had an in-office surgical suite, so it was very convenient. Everyone was very kind and knowledgeable.

A discharge with an odor from any part on you body is not normal. I really hope you have seen a doctor since posting this question.
