Hello, I am 6 weeks post op from a mommy makeover, I am wondering if I am seeing my final results? it looks to me my lower stomach just above the incision is pouching out. I have gone back to doing cardio, mainly running, and still wear my compression garment for most of the day. Can someone tell me if this is swelling or not? Thank you Kara
I had a tummy tuck 6 weeks ago with muscle repair and lipo. The are below my belly button and pubic area is very swollen. My sides don't seem to be nearly as swollen. Is this normal? I'm worried I may have a seroma. I'm still wearing my compression garment and was told on the last visit I no longer need to. Should I still continue to wear it for the swelling?
I have lipo March 7th I am now 6 weeks post and my stomach is still kind of hard. Also I am getting indents when wearing my garments. My stomach is not as flat as it was straight out of surgery I eat well etc havent gained much but my body till look absolutely the same. What can I do to stop indents?
Allergic to surgical tape so was glued (using dermabond?). Week 4 glued tape removed, ends of incision on both hip started itching and welting. Small blisters, spread to almost entire incision. Told to start moisturizing, got worse. Actual incision is fine...just alongside the top and bottom of it. PS put me on a 6day pack of prednisone and I switched from nivea to aveeno. I'm on day 4 meds now and areas seem less inflamed. Itching less intense. Any idea on why? And any advice? Thx in advance
I had a tummy tuck on March 21, 2019. I'm 6 weeks post op. All is healing well with the exception of a slight seperation and opening of the incision. My surgeon office claims that this is normal and that i shouldn't worry. I've emailed pictures and i was seen and i was prescribed silver sulfadiazine and I'm to apply it 2x a day. Im keeping it clean and covered. The cream isn't working if anything its turning the surrounding skin black. What do i do?
I am 6 weeks post-op after a tummy tuck and am wondering if my belly button has necrosis. My doctor keeps saying it is not and am wondering if he's just ignoring me. I want him to fix this before it gets worse. Can someone see if there is necrosis going on? Thanks in advance.
