Bright red period following Tummy tuck, arm lift and breast augmentation. Any suggestions?

The stress of surgery can certainly cause a patient's period to come early. However, the bright red color could be indicative of something else. You might want to follow up with your Ob/Gyn just to be safe. My best,Dr. Sheila Nazarian@drsheilanazarian on Instagram

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.At this point a week post op, its too early to talk about results. To the swelling, I recommend you perform daily lymphatic drainage massage therapy over the abdomen and wear a postoperative girdle from thigh to the breasts.If the fter six months post-op, I recommend you send us your photos again, to give you more information about how we can solve this problem.Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

All of the different medications as well as the surgery itself can influence your cycle. If you are uncomfortable you may wish to consult with your OB/Gyn or the provider you see for your reproductive health.

Thanks for your question.  While a change in the timing of your period can occur with hormonal changes and stress surrounding surgery, particularly a lengthy surgery, bright red blood can also be signs of another unrelated issue.  Questions your ob gyn or primary care provider may ask include how much blood?  How many pads?  Clots?  Blood on the toilet paper only?  Vaginal or rectal bleeding?  The bleeding could be from a vaginal, cervical, uterine or rectal problem, and a detailed physical examination is necessary to differentiate these things.  Best to be safe, see your ob/gyn or primary care doctor ASAP.-Any information in the publications, messages, postings, articles on the website should not be considered a substitute for consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to address individual medical needs. Your particular facts and circumstances will determine the plastic surgery treatment which is most appropriate for you.

Over the internet we can only agree with your surgeon or recommend in person consultations! In my opinion this bleeding needs to be worked up ASAP... 

Surgery can disrupt the hormonal balances of the body and can disrupt your menstrual cycle so what you are experiencing can happen.  Follow up with your PS and OB/gyn if you are worried.
