Answer: Cellulitis or another infection? Based on your photos, it would appear as though you are healing normally. However, if you have increasing pain, redness, soreness, discharge from your incision, or fever and chills, these are all symptoms of infection and should be relayed to your plastic surgeon ASAP. Otherwise it would appears that you are progressing as expected. Best of luck with your continued recovery!

Answer: Do I have cellulitis or another infection 18 days po tummy tuck? Seems you are NOT receiving good postop care visits with ALL these posted questions? Maybe you should pay for in person second pinions to be sure everything OK. Over the internet very hard to be accurate.
