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

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.This yellow appereance can be part of the healing process. To reduce the swelling, I recommend you perform daily lymphatic drainage massage therapy over the abdomen and wear a postoperative girdle from thigh to the breasts.If the fter six months post-op, I recommend you send us your photos again, to give you more information about how we can solve this problem.Kind regards,Dr. Emma Mallol Cotes.-

This is most likely bruising and it very common to see after your procedure.  It should certainly resolved over the next few weeks.   If you are concerned you should talk to your surgeon so he/she can reassure you.

The yellow discoloration is bruising that is resolving.  First black, then green, then yellow is the normal progression.  The drainage at day 1 looks very dark, which explains why you have residual bruising.  You should be mindful of your activity and following closely with your surgeon. You look more swollen on day 9 than on day 1.
