Posted under Tummy Tuck q&a

6 weeks post-op tummy tuck, red and itchy bumps around the incision line. Any ideas on what these might be? (Photo)

070215tt
I am six weeks post op full tummy tuck . Overall my healing process so far has been fairly smooth. but a few days ago noticed these bumps around my incision line. They started from one area right above the pubic area , then spread out along the incision line. They did not itch initially, but started to itch pretty bad couple of days ago. I am not sure if the itching is due to healing or due to the bumps. Any ideas on what these might be? Thank you!
