Is is Normal to Have Blood in my Urine After Tummy Tuck?

No, I would not consider it to be “normal” to have  blood in your urine after tummy tuck surgery.  I think that the most likely source of the blood may be irritation from the catheter that was likely used during the procedure. However, if persistent, you may benefit from evaluation by a urologist.

 Best wishes.

Blood in your urine after this type of surgery would not be considered to be a normal part of your recovery. There are a variety of potential causes, most of which are easily treated. These would include irritation from the catheter if used during surgery, a urinary tract infection, or urethral irritation from a garment. I would suggest contacting your plastic surgeon immediately to discuss this.

As for the hand numbness, this is likely positional and should resolve on its own. However, I would discuss this with your plastic surgeon as well.

Best of luck with your recovery. Hang in there.
