Is this normal? I have a few spots that have scabs on my incision line. One of them....Directly below my belly button (where I'm swollen the most) will still leak the tiniest drop of blood. It doesn't flow out...but I will put a bandaid on it so that I can see how much it "leaks" at one time. Keep in mind, it is like a drop...but I figured I would not be leaking ANYTHING at 31 days post op.

Answer: Healing after a tummy tuck Thanks for sharing your question.Tummy tuck surgery generally involves a lengthy incision with tension on the closure to provide a nice firm and flat tummy. When you put tension on things that can lead to areas which may heal slowly. In general this is OK and with time and appropriate attention to the area the incisions heal very nicely.Make sure to follow up with your plastic surgeon and address your concern. They should give you good recommendations on how to care for the area.

Answer: Slow healing tt at a month A tummy tuck incision just below he umbilicus is the area with the most tenuous blood supply. It is not at all uncommon for slow healing to occur in this area.As long as there is no infection you are OK. Next visit with your doctor, bring it up, ask him directly and politely about it, what to expect, what needs to be done if anything. Ask if there is a stitch in there that needs to be removed, or will time take care of it.Likely, time will do the job.Best to you.
