Drain tube came apart from suction bulb, I'm 7 days post op from a mini tummy tuck and Lipo. I don't have much drainage but all blood in the tube went back into my Incision area, I felt it a bit. Will I be okay? I'm actually due to have it taken out 12/17.
Hello. I had a mini tummy tuck and Vader lipo around 5 days ago. I am recovering well. I am seeing my surgeon again next week to have the dressing removed & wound checked. I am wearing the compression garment as advised 24/7 but this adds to the lower back pain. When I slightly pull the garment forward (as in away from my skin) I can stand straighter and feel relived. Is this normal? Is the garment adding to the strain on my back? Any advice would be welcomed. Thank you
My c section scar was indented with an overhang and I had diastasis. I went to a board certified ps who suggested a mini tuck. I asked for a full and was told I didnt have enough skin. I was concerned about the muscles above my belly button and was told they werent lax enough to be an issue. 1 week post and Im deformed. My belly button is low, below it is sunk in unnaturally indented, the scar high. The area above my belly button is huge and bulging! Am I freaking out too early, What can I do?
I have lipo w/ mini tummy tuck one week ago. My doctor did not place drains. Are drains required, or just a matter of technique? I am worried that I will not be getting rid of the accumulated fluid. the skin on my stomach is also saggy, it does NOT look tight and flat like I expected from these two procedures. I am doing drainage massages, is this helpful, or just an optimizing "extra". Should I be concerned that he did not place drains?
