I would find it hard to believe that this can be due to your surgery since its almost 2 weeks out from your operation. However, in order to better determine why this would be occurring there are A LOT more questions that need to be answered. Since your plastic surgeon hopefully already knows you well you should strongly consider calling him to discuss your symptoms and concerns. He may want you to see a specialist. You should definitely investigate these symptoms sooner rather than later. Wish you all the best!Ankur Mehta MD
Thank you for your question. If you are seeing blood when you spit and when you blow your nose, it is likely the result of the breathing tube placed for your surgery. If it does not appear to be improving, best to discuss this with your surgeon.
This is not a common side effect of tummy tuck surgery. I would address this with you surgeon. Best of Luck,
This seems a bit unusual. Ask you surgeon if you should be seen by an ENT physician for an evaluation.
This does seem a bit unusual and you should probably discuss with your physician.My best guess is that you had some minor irritation to the back of your throat during the procedure secondary to the breathing or other tubes used during the procedure. Check with your surgeon just to be sure
I would say that it's fairly unusual to have a significant issue with nosebleeds after an abdominoplasty. I think it is important that you bring this up with her surgeon to make sure nothing is going on.
Dear Ms. Dmatos22,Thank you for your information and questions. Yes, as, this is unusual.Nothing substitutes for a personal evaluation, a review of your medical history/medications and a face to face discussion of your bleeding problems.I would ask your Plastic Surgeon.I trust you have chosen a Plastic Surgeon who is experienced and Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. In addition ideally a members of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (denoting by membership as having met additional criteria and a focus on Cosmetic Plastic Surgery).I wish you my best and success,R.

Thank you for your pictures and questions. It would seem that from the pictures and the story that you had a post-operative hematoma that is now draining through the drain. That large amount of drainage at almost 3 weeks post-op is not typical and certainly not ideal, but if there is a hematoma...
An abdominoplasty is a major operation. In addition to removing skin, the abdominal wall is usually plicated, repairing any diastasis (spread of the sit-up muscles after term pregnancies). The diastasic repair needs adequate time to heal before resuming strenuous core exercises or sit-ups. ...
Whoa! I would dial that accusation down! Unless your surgeon is a dishonest schmuck, there was likely some misunderstanding. As much as we plastic surgeon like to make money, we don't charge patients for procedures and then not do them! It may be that there was some confusion as to what was...
