So I had an abdominoplasty, full back lipo-ed and a breast lift and reduction. The breast drains were removed after a couple of days, and was asked to measure and check my abdominal ones as time went on. As of right now (4 days post op) Left side is Bright red and somewhat watery at 60cc. Right is thick and rich in color, very dark and has chunks of blood coming out at 80cc. Is this normal? There is no pain in either side, however my back side on the right is more bruised than the other.
I am 4 days post op, and today I coughed up red phlegm or mucus. The past 3 days I have coughed up one, brown to green phlegm per day and figured it was from the breathing tube during general anesthesia. Now I'm sort of freaked out because it was red. Is that normal? I feel fine otherwise. I left a message with my PS but haven't heard back yet. Help please!
What are the best ways to deal with dehydration and nausea after as surgery? I'm 4 days post op and still deal with nausea when I get up to around. The day after surgery they gave me 2 bags of fluids and that helped for that day, but it doesn't seem to be getting any better.
Does this look like normal healing for 4 days post op? I saw my dr 3 days post op and he said all looked fine. I dont have the tape, i have glud instead. just wondering if my healing looks normal and also, the pleating on my tummy tuck, is this normal or common? does it mean bad stitching? ALSO, the liposcution on my flanks, i just had a look. i still have flanks when i stand, just not as chubby? could this just be swelling? because im disappointed if thats how my flanks are going to stay.
4 Days Post op Lift with 450 implants and FDL TT with MR. On breast (right) I feel looks great, but the left looks so different! Closure is different and nipple is different. Is it just swelling? Will it ever look Normal?
