Tummy tuck incision leaking? Surgeon says not to worry but I am.

Hello. Great question. You mention your surgeon determined the incision is not opening and no infection nor seroma is present. I will suggest following his post op instructions. Good luck with your recovery.

Wound is leaking?I’m sorry to hear about your wound healing problems. If you feel that you must get a second opinion from another surgeon, perhaps this would be a good way to find out what’s going on with your wound. One possibility is that you’re having a spitting suture. However, I simply could not tell online what exactly is going on. Therefore I suggest a physical examination for a second opinion.

Usually, leaking with that significant amount should be a concern. A second opinion is always a choice. If you are still experiencing wound drainage at this point in time, you must already have developed a seroma. Schedule an appointment with your surgeon or with another for an examination.
