I have a bunch of pus in my tummy tuck scar and I am very worried. My doctor told me it was nothing to worry about and recommended screams to put on it but I just have a bad feeling

Answer: How normal or not normal is yellow slime-like pus in tummy tuck incisions? Thank you for your pictures and questions. I would certainly not call this "normal." You have evidence of skin necrosis (death) and wound healing problems. This is likely to get worse before it gets better and you might even require debridement (cleaning) of the wounds surgically. I would recommend you go see your board certified plastic surgeon as soon as possible. If you do not have one, find one.Good luck!Dallas R.
