I had A tummy tuck November 8th, and last night I noticed that my belly button was draining a clear discharge. It had a smell to it. I have had discharge from my belly button before which looked clear and bloody, but that was at 2-3 weeks post op. I noticed I have a long stitch sticking out in the inside of my belly button that has been there since day one.. Its just not long enough to be cut. My belly button does not look infected or hurt. Its just that discharge coming out from the inside.
I don't think this is normal: I had a Tummy Tuck done 10 days ago and there's some clear discharge. That small hole with the yellow inside scares me. I don't have fever, but I suspect it's an infection. I'm really worried. I have been putting some neosporin in the last two days but it feels like it's getting worse. Please help!
I had a Tummy Tuck done on 10/28. My belly button has been seeping discharge and has an odor. I have been cleaning it with peroxide, but it has not helped. There also seems to be a small hole just inside as well. What should I do? When will it heal?
I had a Tummy Tuck and body lipo on last February 12. I had a drainage for only 9 days. After the seventh day, my belly started to swell up and my belly button started discharging a light yellow liquid, there is no odor. Around the hole of my belly button, the skin is turning white from the water discharge. When will it stop? What should I do ?
I am 5 weeks post op fleur de lis tummy tuck, and the T section and small area horizontally and small are vertically, are still discharging, but very minimally. I am treating them with antibacterial ointment prescribed by my PS. Just wondering if letting them air out a bit would assist in forming scab sooner. I lost 183 lbs with gastric bypass, and they removed 13 lbs of skin. I realize the T section is usually the section that takes the longest to scab up. Very happy with the results so far.
I had a tummy tuck 8 weeks ago. Ive had discharge coming out of my belly button for a few weeks. I advised the surgeon. I went to my visit today and he stated that he needed to cauterize the wound maybe more than once. Is this normal???
I had a tummy tuck about 9 months ago and there is a problem with my navel. I keep getting green clear discharge so the doctor gave me antibiotics but it never cleared. As i have had this procedure done abroad i need to find a doctor local in London otherwise have to fly back out. My surgeon reckons it could be a stitch inside which needs a navel revision. He reckons i may have a granuloma from the stitch. Doctor also took swab and came back clear so no infection. What can this be ?
