It's been about 10 days since my Tummy Tuck and I haven't had any issues that haven't been answered except that I was using a back brace since my back was hurting so bad and the doctor said it was okay.
However, today, I noticed a spot where the tape over my incision line was bleeding. Is this normal and am I doing too much?

Answer: Small about of bleeding/oozing is okay Sometimes the small skin edges ooze or bleed when you remove the tape. It sounds like this might be what is happening. However, if you are concerned, you should see your doctor for an evaluation.

Answer: Small amount of bleeding after Tummy Tuck normal It is not uncommon to have a small part of the incision open up a bit and bleed. Increased activity can be a factor in this as well. If it was a small amount of bleeding and the wound is intact, you should be fine. As usual, check in with your surgeon about this.
