I had a tummy tuck and muscle repair a year ago but my belly button has never stopped leaking

The wound can be freshened to remove the fibrinous slough, and gauze packing placed twice daily. Slowly the wound will heal from the bottom up. Have faith - it will heal. It may take months.

There is something not healing or remaining after your tummy tuck a year ago... somebody needs to explore that umbilical area and look for either retained sutures or simply areas that have not healed but need to be cleaned out. My suspicion is on retained sutures. There are still some surgeons who use either just a few or multiple sutures that are permanent- those your body will continue to spit out and cause drainage until removed. If you need to reach out and discuss further, give our office a call the number is 847-853-9900. Best Wishes 847-853-9900!!
