Hello, I started using silicone strips..and put one on belly button for scar...and when I removed it I noticed a small blister/pimple like bump on BB scar. This wasn't there before. What could this be? I tried to pop it.. it hurts and won't pop. It does look like it has some white in it..and also clear-ish fluid. Please advise with your expert opinion, thanks.

Your muscle repair will be better if you do those crunches before surgery!
A stronger fascia (the tissue layer over the muscle) will hold the stitches better. Stitches can "cheese wire" or tear through a weak fascia.
It is hard to imagine how the exercise could "make the condition worse"...
Hello,
Thank you for your question. I usually don't keep tummy tuck patients overnight. A recliner will be helpful and likely your main sleeping area for about the first 1-2 weeks.
All the best,

If your abdomen is "puffy" or protuberant, this may indicate that there is some laxity in the rectus muscles. This laxity may occur with age, pregnancy, extreme weight gain and loss, or surgery such as a c-section or hysterectomy. The muscles will not be tightened by any liposuction modality....
