Asked By:hotpa in San Diego, CA

I had a tummy tuck on 11/24/15. I also had a lift, implants of 800cc and liposuction, fat transfer to butt. day 5 the Drains stopped flowing i could hear a whistling sound at end of incision. on Monday 11/30, i went for my one-week check up and my he also said he might have over-stressed the belly area. My dr said i had ecchymosis and epidermolysis where my "previous" bellybutton is now, however all the similar photos of ladies on your site are being told it looks like its skin necrosis.
