Blisters and Bruising After Smartlipo and Tummy Tuck Surgery

November 17, 2008
Asked By:sunkissedcutie in kennewick, wa 99336

I had Tummy Tuck and Smart Lipo done last week, and I've had fever (as high as 104.1, and hangs around 101.4 when I'm taking Tylenol) since then. The suture line or staple line is sloughing with big blisters, the whole area is red, and not to mention black and blue. The picture below is 2 days after the procedures. Should I see my doctor as soon as possible?Read my updated review
