Hi. Im 2 years post op tummy tuck with muscle repair. About 6 months after I developed a hard nodule under my skin. I saw a general surgeon and he said its a suture granuloma and the suture needs to come out. I also contacted my plastic surgeon and he said if the general surgeon removes the suture my muscle repair would be compromised. I dont want that to happen because I spent $36k on my plastics after weight loss. Is my plastic surgeon wrong?
I had a tummy tuck about 7 months ago and there is a problem with my navel. I keep getting green clear discharge so the doctor gave me antibiotics but it never cleared. As i have had this procedure done abroad i need to find a doctor local in London otherwise have to fly back out. My surgeon reckons it could be a stitch inside which needs a navel revision. He reckons i may have a granuloma from the stitch. Doctor also took swab and came back clear so no infection. What can this be ?
Had my TT in Agu 17 but by Jan all the swelling was gone and still had flabby skin and belly button was slightly to the left. My PS said that bec my umbilical hernia was so bad he had trouble with the belly button. I got a second TT to fix the bb and rest of skin, but now: 1. My bb hasnt healed and my dr says its normal but Im starting to worry 2 yesterday I saw a bump in lower abs. It doesnt hurt, move. Is it a granuloma? My PS Is away n texted me to wear the post-op girdle, will this help?
I have a granuloma which it started oozing through a small little hole and on day 2 after I started squeezing out the fluid ,which was only like clear fluid with just a bit of blood. I cleaned it but then I noticed that there was something else like part of my meat with the whitish looking thing coming out . I tried cleaning it But then I got scared. I contacted my surgeon he said just clean it out but then I told him what I seen then he just responded to go to the ER!
Finally healed up from tissue been compromised, except I have a hard knot around incision scar. I saw ps & he said is agranuloma that needs to be surgically removed My concern is I might have a hard tI'm to heal like I did before. Is there an alternative treatment to my condition?! Thanks for your time & attention to my concern..
I had a TT 8 years ago w/muscle repair. 2 years after, a small lump developed next to my belly button. It has steadily grown & very painful. In addition the lump has caused my belly button to close & it is now oozing. Ultrasound & Mri ruled out any hernia. PS said its a Suture Granuloma and the suture would have to be surgically removed. I have 2 concerns, If it is repaired with permanent sutures will this happen again? if dissolvable sutures are used will the repaired muscle seperate?
My surgeon called them lots of things Lipomas Grauloma suture scar tissue I have had 4 big ones removed and still very many Im 6 months post we have massaged aggressively for 6 months. It wasnt until I had sent many emails before he started to reply and my revision he said would be painful I was awake for lumps removed and awake for flank revision numbed it but he went out of the areas he marked. I was numbed well when he removed the bigger lumps. I dont go back for another month for more shots
I am 6 weeks post op Full TT, flank lipo, BA/BL and very happy with results - unfortunately traveling M to F for work. How can I care for spitting suture/suture granulomas that are occurring? PS treated 1 with silver nitrate a week ago and it hasn't healed and 2 more are forming. They are very painful. Would it be appropriate to seek a PS out of town? Or is there something else I can do?
HX-MRSA abscess post op abdominoplasty. Several rounds bactrim ds. PMHX-healthy, nonsmoker, nondiabetic 18 weeks post op 2 stitch granulomas-can they heal w/out surgical intervention (one has not opened, the other has opened daily X 4 days w/small amt pus drainage)? Could a longer duration of abx be successful (6 weeks)? AND if they HAD to be removed what is the chance of ending up with another MRSA abscess?
