I had a tummy tuck 2 years ago and I have a knot above my belly button that seems to be getting bigger. It is a little tender. Im guessing its either a small umbilical hernia or an umbilical Granuloma although I have no oozing of any kind. My ct scan is scheduled for next month to find out what it is. If it is either of these 2 things above how is the procedure performed and how much recovery time will I need? Thank you !
I recently had a TT, I have been healing very well, but in the beginning of this week I noticed 2 small knots under my scar, one on the left and one on the right, I have been massaging them regularly (dont know if that helps) and they seem to be going away, when I touch the one on the right it does not hurt but it seems there is a line leading away from it that hurts a little (used to feel that pain in the first 6 weeks of healing. Sorry I dont have a pic, its not visible just by looking.
My mons pubis is HUGE, It wasnt noticed prior to surgery, but I was told I received liposuction in that area during my tummy tuck. The more weight I lose, the worse it looks. I dont know what to do now, I feel like it should have been addressed during my TT, and lifted when the extra skin was removed. I dont know what to do now, to fix this? I also have knots/lumps all along my incision (under the skin). They are very painful. What could this be? I had surgery 2/25/2014.
I am 5 weeks post op full tummy tuck with muscle repair. Aside from the swelling I am healing well and feeling great but I noticed this weird lump or knot where the drain was removed. It almost looks like a chewed up piece of gum, it's painless, it's soft on the outside but feels harder in the middle. It's kind of pink but doesn't look infected, I'm still worried about it though. Any insight as to what it may be? Will it go away or can it be fixed? I have a post op toward the end of the month
tummy tuck on 6/4/14. I was healing fine. 6 wks in I developed a small sore in my belly button. PS opened put me on a 5 day round of antibiotics.A few wks later I had pain below my incision line. Within days I could feel a knot beneath the skin became bright pink and red. He opened a place in my scar that had started to yellow. It has a tunnel that goes an inch deep. After three wks knots formed on the other side along my incision & split open on its own. I now have a red spot where my drain was
had a TT about 10 months ago & noticed a black stitch that is left in my belly button area. When I try to grab it with tweezers it pulls but is logged even with heavy force. This makes me think that the knot is inside the belly button and perhaps skin grew over the other end of the stitch. Not able to return to my Doctor & can't find another surgeon to go behind the others work. It doesn't hurt or bother me, it's just knowing that it's there is worrisome. Will I be OK, if it's not removed?
It only gave me a really bad pain one time, it hurts a little when I put pressure on it to try an feel it I don't know if I pulled a muscle or if it's something more To be concerned about? Thank you for your help.
