Answer: My belly button is infected. Can I put white vinegar on?
You should find out if you had a urinary catheter placed during surgery. Sometimes that can lead to some difficulties urinating, but these usually resolve on their own. If you have any real difficulty, you should definitely follow up with your plastic surgeon as soon as possible. Good luck!
Thank you for the question. It is hard to assess your situation without any pictures and an in-person examination. Best if you can visit your board-certified plastic surgeon and get a full evaluation. Best of luck, Dr. Michael Omidi.
Typically, a patient will be given one dose of antibiotics during the surgery, and that is probably enough.You should inquire as to your plastic surgeon's practice. Best wishes.
