Hello, I am 7 months post tummy tuck and back liposuction. I went to Dominican Republic for my procedure. The recovery process was slow but finally happy with my results but still healing. Today i was massaging on and around my tummy tuck scar and when pressing down i swear it feels like tiny popping bubbles underneath my skin. I stopped right away. Is this normal or a sign of something else? Please advise Linda Silent eyes

Answer: Popping bubbles underneath skin 7 months after tummy tuck - is this normal? Hello @Helpful415776, thank you for your question. Any kind of abnormality about the process must be analyzed, because there is no way to have a treatment if you are not clear about what is going on. The first step may be to do an ultrasound of the area. The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes!Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Popping bubbles underneath skin 7 months after tummy tuck - is this normal? Hi Linda. It’s hard to understand exactly what is happening here. If it’s been seven months, I’m sure it’s not a big issue. It could just be fibrosis and deep sutures that feel funny. In any case it is a good idea to contact your doctor. I assume you can still contact him and send him some photos or videos so that he understands the situation….. Maybe even a video call.
