Asked By:Mrs.M1105 in Portland, OR

I am 19 days post op since mommy makeover with muscles repaired and liposuction to my flanks, today I noticed that some of my surgical tape had redness around it and some blood with some puss. So I removed the tape and cleaned the area with a gauze & neosporin, and put the surgical tape around it again.
