Popping Feeling in Abdominal Muscles During Yoga?

Question

i am a little over a year post op from a tummy tuck. 2 days ago i felt an unraveling followed by a single popping sensation during yoga class (in seal pose, a little deeper than upward dog). have i compromised my sutures? i have done full backbend before with no problems. i'm puzzled. no pain or anything that looks unusual. but i am concerned.

Gregory Sexton, MD · Answer

The sutures will have healed by 6 weeks, so there should be nothing to worry about, but you should call your surgeon's office to let them know.

Jourdan Gottlieb, MD · Answer

Unlikely that even if you popped a stitch that you have done any damage.--but six weeks or so the stitched areas should have healed. Do check with your surgeon, though, if you have any questions, as this would not be something that can be resolved on line.

	All the best.

At one year your abdomen should be completely healed.  If you continue to have symptoms, see your surgeon.  Donald R. Nunn MD  Atlanta Plastic Surgeon
