Called my doc and he said keep antibiotic cream on it and come back next week to recheck. It is dripping a red tinted fluid. It seems to be steady dripping unless bandage is pressed against the wound. Any other ideas for care or suggestions would be appreciated.
I don't mind my legs but I got some stretch marks and fluid retention in my inner thighs during pregnancy and now when I work out, lift my legs to the side or sit down I get very conscious about the loose skin that working out will not tighten. I would love to know whether I could get a thigh lift with the incision only within the groin region as I don't need one down the entire length of my inside thigh to knee. Any suggestions would be great if there is another procedure that could help me.
Will I be able to wear a bikini in aprox 2 months , and not have this horrible bumpy scar... I dont mind the redness or darkness of the scar,but i just want it flat. Im a week post op. Do i still have chances of infection at this point? Also my skin is stiff and really hard in that area. Rock hard. Is it a seroma or fluid? Help!
I had complications 1 mo post op, attributed to my body producing a lot of post operative fluid. My wound , took 1 mo on wound vac to close. I have a tremendous amount of anxiety about working on this area again, yet want it fixed. The scarring is horrible. What does scar revision to the inner thigh entail? Would I achieve a lot of benefit from scar revision? Is six months post op too soon to do a scar revision? Also I think that a full revision; w/ more skin removal) may be needed some day.
I had a thigh lift, arm lift and butt lift 8 days ago. I have 2 drains in bikini area that are draining an awful smelling purple fluid. I also have a small wound opening. My PS called in antibiotics last night. Can antibiotics really turn this around? I'm petrified to move and make it worse and the smell of the fluid is nauseating me. I'm keeping the wound extra clean. Nothing has changed since starting the antibiotics last night but will it get better keeping these drains in with antibiotics ?
I had an inner thigh lift 9 days ago with no drains i noticed that the discharge stopped on day 3 but then on day 6 i saw an openeing in both my legs and a fluid that has a brownish colour is coming out with a bad smell i informed my doctor and he saw the opening said it was fine . I keep changing on it but the fluid is alot and its not closing should i be conserned ?
5 weeks post op had a 5cm cyst/seroma drained of 60cc of fluid. 4 days later it returned. Should I return to PS or make a trip to the ER? I'm now 6 weeks post op from thighplasty with TT. Also been wearing a full bodycompression garment since week 2 and have constant swelling in lower right leg and feet. Is this normal?
