Can infection be possible from my body sweat? I plan doing TT in May living in NY, it is not that crazy hot here but can be while I recover. I will be wearing compression garment and concern if summer sweat can somehow cause infection.. I will have drains, please share tips how to take care of drains and scar to avoid lumps and infection! Thank you.

Answer: Sweat and infection Hello and thank you for the great question. You should have no issues with a TT in May as long as you keep the incision line and the area around the drains clean and dry with soap and water. Take a hairdryer on cool setting and dry your steri strips until they fall off naturally. Follow all post op instructions and keep all appointments with your Board certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck on your journey!

Answer: Skin care after tummy tuck Thank you for your question. You can certainly have a tummy tuck during the summer months. Remember that your skin will be nice and tight and there will be no folds to collect the extra moisture. Also it is easy to keep the area clean with soap and water and protective dressings in the beginning.
