I had a tummy tuck, lipo, and breasts August done a few days ago. The pain is getting more bearable as each day progresses, but I have noticed a burning sensation along the left side of my tummy tuck incision when I get up and move around. The burning only lasts a few minutes, but it is intense. Is this normal?
Answer: Burning at incision site 3 days post op? Dear Rockyplace99In the early period after an abdominoplasty, having unusual sensations occurs often. Just having the burning sensation you describe is not worrisome. If it become recurring or any changes occur with th swelling of your abdomen, see you surgeon quickly. You most likely have a followup visit early this week. Show him or her the area and make sure all is well.

Answer: Burning at incision site 3 days post op Thank you for your questions. After a tummy tuck and liposuction, you may feel different nerve sensations which are normal. An examination would be needed to answer your question. Discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Healing of incisions It may take several months for a patient’s scars to soften, for sensation to return, and for relaxing of the tight sensation in the abdomen. In the case of extensive surgery, abdominoplasty recovery can be uncomfortable and may take longer. Scars may stay red, become thick or widen. It can take 12-18 months for the scars to settle.

Answer: Burning at incision site 3 days PostOp Thank you for sharing your question and congratulations on your surgery. Because of the stretch that is placed on your abdominal tissues, it is not uncommon for the nerves within the skin to become irritated. Once a nerve is irritated it can result in differing sensations to the tissues including a burning or electrical sensation. This tends to improve with time as your swelling resolves and skin relaxes but may take 6 months or longer. Hang in there and inform your surgeon who can follow you along closely to ensure your steady improvement.
