Asked By:Nono 2010 in Doha

I’m 9 days after my hernia and tummy tuck surgery. I noticed that I have purple and redness skin exactly on the same place of the hernia repair. I did not notice it before as I was in the hospital for 6 days until the fluids were less. I’m wondering if this is normal or i need to see my surgeon? I don’t feel any pain. please advise. Note: it’s in the middle part of the upper abdomen just under my breast Thank you
