Hi I've had a tummy tuck 3 weeks ago My surgeons office is 2 hours away so can't just go in too see them but does this look normal?? There is one part that looks like it has dark dried up blood inbetween my incisions will this heal normal or should I be worried?? It doesn't ozze or isn't [RS bleep], though a tad red I don't feel it's infected just worried about the bit in the incision. Will I need a scar revision??

Hi Terry.It is quite normal for drains to be in this long. It really depends on how large of a tummy tuck was done. Essentially, the larger the amount of tissue removed, the more the amount of drainage that results and for longer. Compression garments are good. Limiting...
How much sagging are you seeing? Your skin needs to be a little loose when you bend over because this allows for it to stretch when you stand up straight. If it is excessive, you may want to see your surgeon again in a follow up to express your concerns. Best of luck!
This would be highly unusual to have this problem after a tummy tuck especially when you are 8 months out. Please go see a urologist who can investigate further into your problem.
