9 days post TT and lipo. How does my incision look? I'm worried about the bruising and dark spots in my incision. No oozing

Dear Mytime18,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD

This question is best answered by your surgeon. She/He is most familiar with the details of your surgery and how you've been progressing through recovery. From the submitted photos you have a little bit of delayed healing but overall healing appropriately for nine days post op. Remember to closely follow your surgeon's instructions and report any concerns.

Hello!  Thank you for your question!  It does appear that you have some delayed healing and bruising. This is not uncommon following a procedure like yours.  At 9 days postop, continue to follow up with your surgeon. This should all slowly improve and likely will have no change in the overall appearance. Continue local wound care and restrictions as given by your surgeon. Best wishes!

Have your shared your concern with your plastic surgeon?     You should share your concern with him/her.     That said, I would not be overly concerned as long as you keep your regularly scheduled appointment and you follow their instructions regarding any care you might need.   The skin margin where it is dark are a little distressed, but nothing that should cause significant concern.   It may look a little worse before it gets better, but you should be fine.  Best wishes.    

It is early in your recovery and I would recommend you be seen and evaluated by your plastic surgeon as normal follow ups.  It is always important to have bruising evaluated to ensure there is no collection of blood or possible skin loss impending.  Scars can be improved in the future with massage, silicone sheeting, and possible revision.  Again, best to be evaluated in person.  Good luck.
