I had Lipo in my stomach and now my belly button is oozing. Any suggestions?

Question

I had lipo two months ago and now the inside of my belly button is a red pink color. It has an order and is oozing just a little. I have hard lumps everywhere. I had a tummy tuck four years ago. Is this normal with lipo ?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

After 2 months the wounds should be healing.  If they are not, please see your physician immediately.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. It is not unusual to have lumpiness after lipo, but oozing from bell button area after two months is not usual. You should contact your physician immediately to evaluate you personally

Lumpiness is common after liposuction but should have resolved at two months.It's not normal to have fluid draining this far out from the procedure.You should contact your plastic surgeon as soon as possible.Best,Mats Hagstrom M.D.
