I had my MM on 10/5 and was given the ok to shower. I have two band-aids with gauze under them on the areas that the drains were taken out of. The gauze gets wet every time I shower and I pat dry and it stays wet. I'm seeing all of these posts about people getting infections. Won't the wet gauze against an open wound cause an infection? I'm asking here because it's a Saturday and my is office is closed.
I had a mommy makeover with full tummy tuck, breast lift and implants on may 26th. The drain tubes were removed on may 30th. I have an appointment with the Ps to remove the staples. I am worried because skin is growing over the staples and I am still in pain. I would like to know the average amount of time the staples stay in.
My back has literally seized up on me from sleeping in the electric recliner after my make over. I am 11 days post-op. In the past I have had a few problems with my back, traveling long distances in a car. It has been four years since it has really had me down. I have been sleeping back in the bed for the past 3 nights but the damage is already done. There have been a few times I couldn't even get out of bed by myself. The pain is excruciating!! I have had to start taking my painkillers again.
I had a tummy tuck liposuction in my stomach breast lift and breast augmentation 10 days ago. I'm having burning in my left upper side and I'm still in significant amount of pain. What's really bothering me is there's a crease below my belly button as seen in the picture that just won't go away. also my belly button is so tiny and then there's a piece of skin hanging over the top is this all normal 10 days post-op? My plastic surgeon says it's swelling and my skin will settle out....
Hi.. hope someone who can answer my question when I can use the scar guard? Im currently 10 Days done with my Mommy makeover. Nurse told me no need to put it first but my surgeon advice that can put already since the day I left hospital. So when the nurse 1st visited me she asked me to peal off the scar guard to my breast and tummy
My PS did 3 layers of plication to fix it up. I'm 11days po and have this constant tickle in my throat possibly due to allergies. I carry water with me all the time and take sips because I'm deathly afraid of coughing and popping a stitch. Unfortunately, a big sneeze snuck up on me and it hurt. I'm healing quite nicely and I want to keep it up. How likely could a cough/sneeze pop a plication? I will do anything to appease the allergy gods not to ruin this for me!
I have a very low appetite but I've been trying to force myself to eat, everything I've been eating is healthy. My stomach has been upset this is going on day 4, and yesterday I had diarrhea but now don't. I have no fever or anything either. Is this normal?
I am PO day 9 from lipo of flanks, TT, BL and implants! The last 3 days I have been extremely itchy where lipo incisions are. There is a stitch in incision. Today I woke up and there is a rash all around it and swollen. There hasn't been any tape or anything on it for days! Off all meds...-and been taking benadryl around the clock!
I am 10 days post op. My PS doesn't seem to be concerned about the line being stuck. He said I have a few options. 1. Leave it 2. Sedate me & he will pull it 3. Surgically remove it. Is this common? Will the lIne dissolve eventually like a suture?
