Asked By:MROJAS1835 in Newark, NJ

Im two months post of tummy tuck and lipo . Im still leaking fluid from my belly button at times it looks like clear yellow clear reddish and maybe at times clear greenish . At night if I let it breathe I wake up with my belly button wet and with a funky smell . If I lay down and squeeze my belly the fluid comes up . Will this ever heel ? Will it ever close ? Should I go to the emergency room to get tested ? I have no pain no fever no signs of infection
