I had a tummy tuck with lipo on flanks. I want to know how could this happen? What should I do to treat it?
Answer: 2 days post-op I noticed burn-like blisters around my incision. How does this happen? How can I treat it? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and I am sorry to see your wound healing difficulties. Unfortunately a significant amount of skin and tissue is involved and I would recommend seeking your surgeon for local wound care advice - typically keeping the area covered with a thick emollient for now - but be aware that this will blister and look worse before it is able to heal. Without knowing the details of the procedure it is difficult to know why this took place - skin tension, liposuction burn with ultrasound use, etc ,so talk to your surgeon.
