Was advised by my plastic surgery that this was a tape chemical burn used during my tummy tuck/ lipo surgery. I am not sure this is the case. He advised me to use neosporin to treat the area. However I've started using Curad Sliver Solution (55ppm) and polysporin Should I get a second opinion?
Answer: #Liposuction - Lipo burn or tape burn? It's a good question but hard to answer via this forum. And while both are possibilities, so is another - diminished blood flow to the region which caused impaired wound healing. There is some overlap in these and it also may not matter that much, as the end result - regardless of the origin - is often treated the same. That would be local wound care followed by, if necessary, surgical revision. You would need to be seen in person for a full and complete assessment and, as such, I would agree that a second opinion in person is indicated at this point. I hope that this helps and good luck, Dr. Alan Engler, Member of #RealSelf500
