Sneezing after abdominoplasty. Will it ruin my results?

Asked By:swimummy in Australia, AU

Hi, I'm 5 weeks post op and I've managed to catch a small cold. Whenever I sneeze I freak out and feel like I'm going to ruin my op. I guess because I've invested so much $$ and emotion into this op, I'm scared of ruining it all. I've been trying to put off the sneezes (by doing that thing where you press against your top lip), but sometimes they still happen and it hurts and stresses me out. Having said that, it doesn't hurt as much as the first few weeks. Am I going to ruin all that work?!
