Pleating and Hematoma after tummy tuck. (photos)

February 19, 2017
Asked By:pistol68 in Philadelphia, PA

I had my "mini" (no new belly button) otherwise basically a full...done on 1/27/17, w/Lipo and diastis repair. I had a hematoma develop right away. Had one drain put in during op and removed after 2 weeks. There's still a bulge where the hematoma was and the pleating at the ends of incision are my 2 biggest concerns right now. The end of the scar the skin still seems loose... hoping I don't need a revision. I'm massaging the bulge and hard spots from hematoma and shearing Lipo in stomach.
