I am 3 months post op from a tummy tuck. My healing has been textbook, but I have this little hard lump under my incision just over my pubic area. I noticed it by month 2 and now that the swelling is decreasing every day, it's actually visible. It does not hurt at all and feels like one of those little bouncy balls from a vending machine. Could it be scar tissue? Should it be going away by 3 months?
I am 9 weeks post TT and feel so swollen. I had splitting suctures so my healing has been slow. The latest is pain on the sides of my waitst.the left side is swollen but my the wound is fully healed. What do you think is going on?
I had a full tummy tuck on 14 Jan ,19 no drains or tightening. Bad reaction to the anaesthesia & ended up vomiting violently and loosening my stitches which caused some blood loss. I developed a seroma which the PS has been draining twice a week for 6 weeks. I have had a bulge since bandage removal. PS said it was the seroma and swelling but now the bulge has hardened and it is uncomfortable. PS seems confused and has no answers or plan. My tummy looks worse than before the TT. Is this a PB?
I had liposuction to abdomen and flanks on Dec 4th. Doctor pulled out 1800cc of fat. I'm happy with the results, but (as my doc warned me--no complaints at all about the doctor or lipo --I chose it with full knowledge of the pros and cons) it didn't get rid of my stretch marks or loose skin that I have. I'm 5'5 and 125 pounds. Now, I want that skin removed, I.e. A tummy tuck. Lipo did make the skin shrink a bit, but now I want to look even better. Question is how long after lipo can I get a tummy tuck?
I am 3 months post op from tummy tuck. My scar is still very red. It seems to get worse at night. I massage it everyday and have not had it exposed to direct sunlight but have been outside in the sun often. Will this improve in time?
3 1/2 mos post op ETT & abd is still swollen &hurts. CT scan done stated: some irregularity in the rectus muscles of my abd & some extra fluid in the lower abdomen & around the incision. It is thought this is all related to your surgery however these shouldn't be present 3 months out.There was no evidence of overt infection or abscess.My PS w/o seeing me dx a seroma. What does irregularity in the rectus muscle mean? Over incision is hard on both sides, like bone. Looks like keloids & dog ears
