2 days post surgery I developed a hematoma that we have been draining every 3-4 days per week. I am also experiencing a hard lump from above my belly button to my TT scar. I did have my diastasis corrected. Along with the TT I did have a full mommy makeover but NOTHING else has bothered me except the TT. I keep asking for pain pills because the OTC meds are not cutting it. What should I being taking for the pain? I just want to know if this is normal or not? Thank you!
Hi! I had a mommy makeover on 6/21/17. And today, 8/15/17, I am up 5 lbs from the date I had my surgery. I had a significant seroma, that needed to be drained 2x/wk for 1 month, but my PS says it has subsided. I was healthy before the surgery - I worked out 5-6 times per week, so I am wondering why the scale is up so much? Also, I thought by now, almost 2 months post op, I would have a look that is closer to the results I wanted - but not so much. I still have a fat roll when I sit down.
Looking for the most effective scar therapy treatment to treat the scars from my mommy makeover. I am 8 weeks post op and have been using silicon strips for about 4 weeks now (once all the wounds closed) and using lotion and trying to massage the slightly raised areas of my scars. Is a liquid silicon as effective as the strips? Or are none of them worth the money?
I am 9 weeks post op. For 4 weeks I wore a Silagen sphere 23/7. I took the sphere off for one day for a bathing suit and the picture on the right shows what it looks like. The navel is my original belly button so it seems that navel training won't help. Any suggestions on how I can get my navel have a permanent shape like the left?
I started exercising almost a week ago. I am almost 8 weeks post tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I can do the elliptical just fine, but if I try to do anything to tone my stomach it's sore and achy, and it doesn't feel like I have the strength to do a crunch. Should it feel like that?
This was not there before.... or I at least didn't notice it l. I am worried... Is my belly button dead? Or what it's This? It almost seems like a small black blister inside my belly button. I am 7 weeks post op from having a tummy tuck.
I am 9 weeks post op, I have developed swelling, to stomach area and on one side where my flank lipo was? At 5-6 weeks post op my stomach was totally flat with clearly defined slim waistline, I started to do gentle excersise (squats and walking) not sure if this has caused the problem ?tummy feels very bloated, taught and swollen? I had a seroma drained at 3 weeks post op. I am concerned that I may need revision or that the surgeon hasnt stitched muscles enough?
Is it unusual to continue to have spit in stitches? Is there anything that I should be concerned with? Is there a time frame in which the spitting stitches should stop? Last but not least, I want to thank everyone for answering my questions. It has been nice to be able to get other input.
