October 2020 I had abdominal plasty and the 360 Lipo. May 2021 I had reconstruction of my belly button because it closed up. Ive had swelling and inflammation issues all the way up until nine months postop. I finally felt like my old self again but it only lasted five months before the swelling and pain when I coughed or sneezed start it up. im skinny in the morning and by evening I have a large upper bulge and swelling. Major pressure and discomfort! Havent been able to workout in over a mo!
Im scheduled to have breast augmentation, mini tummy tuck and inner thigh lipo in 2 days, I started this annoying cough a week ago, no other symptoms just my throat gets sore from coughing, at first symptoms I called my surgeon and they told me to go see my primary care, I did and got prescribed ZPak more as preventative, I finished that yesterday but the cough still lingers, specially at night. I dont feel sick or anything just a tickle in my throat once in a while. What do I do ?
I am about 8mo po from my tt with mr. everything has been great. I just got a cold a few days ago and now have this terrible and uncontrollable cough. Im concerned that the cough may compromise my MR. is this possible at this point? What is the likelihood this can happen and what would it feel like? My tummy feels sore, but I think that may be muscle soreness from the coughing...or maybe I popped a stitch...I dont know. Ive reached out to my PS, but figured Id also post on here!
Hi. I am now about 13-14 weeks post op from a full TT w/ muscle repair. For about 2-3 days I have had some allergies and have been coughing on and off. Not hard and just hear and there coughing fits. My question is, at this point being 13-14 weeks out, can I damage the muscle repair or pop sutures? The coughing is moderate and just from an itchy throat. Thank you.
Does it look normal or muscle repair lopsided? I have been wearing my garments 24x7, massaging, being careful but the more I heal the more I notice the swelling seems worse / more prominent on the full left side (top to bottom) as shown in the pic. I did have a cough that came on 4 days post op and lasted a week... my surgeon says its normal swelling but wanted to get additional thoughts / feedback. I will post before pics too Incase that helps.
I came out of surgery with no pain in my abdomen (i got Exparel) and now on day 7, I still have no pain at all except when I cough. I take a few Valium and hydrocodone each day for the breast implant pain but Im shocked that I feel nothing where I should be having severe pain. So my question is- could this be a sign that my surgeon did not perform the plication correctly?Or could it be that because Ive had 2 c-sections and carried twins to 36 weeks that my pain receptors are all dead?
5 day post tummy tuck w/ repair. Hair like tickle in the back of my throat causing frequent coughing fits. The pain is so intense...HELP! Is this normal? What can I do to alleviate this sensation in my throat! Im terrified to cough!!!!
