Is yellow stomach discoloration above Tummy tuck incision normal? (photos)

October 6, 2015
Asked By:GG82 in Taunton, MA

I've noticed some yellow discoloration right above my incision that has developed over the past 9 days. It does not look like the other bruising I have on my sides. Is this normal bruising or signs of something else going on? I have a follow up appointment with the Dr tomorrow.
