I went to the DR to have tummy tuck and bbl. To drain fluids theyd put a needle in one of my back insions and drain my fluid like that. Ever since those massages Ive been in some crazy pain! Especially when I take my faja off I feel like my back is breaking and my belly is ripping!!!
Im 6wks post-op from my TT. Everything was looking and healing fine at 4wks. 5wks a small area along my TT incision appeared to open but it wasnt a concern. Then at 6wks dramatically changed. I emailed my PS with some pics and he said it was something to do with a dissolving stitch. To apply polysporin twice a day and bandage it. Since Sunday it has become even larger. My question is this typically something that get worse before it gets better?
I am 6 weeks post op, had a Tummy Tuck with muscle repair. My doctor told me that now, at 6 weeks, to begin getting off the binder at night, put it on during the day, and totally out of it in two weeks. But, he said I should do light abdominal crunches for the next two weeks to restrengthen my muscles. They hurt! I could barely do four little ones. Is this safe for my muscle repair? I trust him and my recovery has been flawless, but this scares me! Any input would be appreciated.
Hello, I am 6 weeks post op from a mommy makeover, I am wondering if I am seeing my final results? it looks to me my lower stomach just above the incision is pouching out. I have gone back to doing cardio, mainly running, and still wear my compression garment for most of the day. Can someone tell me if this is swelling or not? Thank you Kara
I had a tummy tuck 6 weeks ago with muscle repair and lipo. The are below my belly button and pubic area is very swollen. My sides don't seem to be nearly as swollen. Is this normal? I'm worried I may have a seroma. I'm still wearing my compression garment and was told on the last visit I no longer need to. Should I still continue to wear it for the swelling?
I have lipo March 7th I am now 6 weeks post and my stomach is still kind of hard. Also I am getting indents when wearing my garments. My stomach is not as flat as it was straight out of surgery I eat well etc havent gained much but my body till look absolutely the same. What can I do to stop indents?
Allergic to surgical tape so was glued (using dermabond?). Week 4 glued tape removed, ends of incision on both hip started itching and welting. Small blisters, spread to almost entire incision. Told to start moisturizing, got worse. Actual incision is fine...just alongside the top and bottom of it. PS put me on a 6day pack of prednisone and I switched from nivea to aveeno. I'm on day 4 meds now and areas seem less inflamed. Itching less intense. Any idea on why? And any advice? Thx in advance
I had a tummy tuck on March 21, 2019. I'm 6 weeks post op. All is healing well with the exception of a slight seperation and opening of the incision. My surgeon office claims that this is normal and that i shouldn't worry. I've emailed pictures and i was seen and i was prescribed silver sulfadiazine and I'm to apply it 2x a day. Im keeping it clean and covered. The cream isn't working if anything its turning the surrounding skin black. What do i do?
