Leaking from Tummy Tuck Scar?

Some drainage from the incision line after tummy tuck surgery is commonly encountered. The important thing is to rule out complications that may be associated with increased drainage from the incision line. Your plastic surgeon will be your only reliable resource when it comes to ruling out these complications; therefore, close follow up with him/her will be important.

 Best wishes.

It is normal to have some fluid drainage from your incision post tummy tuck.  It is also possible to do too much!  Straight betadine is quite toxic to healing cells and can slow your healing while killing bacteria.  This is not an accepted use of betadine.  Over-cleaning your wound can also damage the very fragile skin leading to drainage, separation and delayed healing.  My suggestion would be to discuss wound care with your surgeon further and follow his instructions.  All the best.
