I have a hard lump to the left of my belly button. After having an ultrasound today the surgeon said it's a hematoma. It's causing me quite a bit of discomfort, especially after eating and when being over. Is there any way to help speed along the hematoma going away? I am going to discuss getting it drained when I see the Dr for the follow up appointment but anything else that can help? Is there any danger in leaving it to go on its own? Thanks.
I had a TT with muscle repair 11/2021 that I was very happy about. I had to have preventative laparoscopic procedure by my ob/gyn that went smoothly, but I developed a 7cm hematoma on my left side immediately after. The doctor prefers not to intervene and said to wait for it to reabsorb. It is painful, not growing, but not shrinking quickly. Is waiting for it to go away on its own the best approach and will it ruin the TT results I am happy with? IDK if an OB cares about long term appearances
3 days post we found out I had Necrosis which my surgeon removed with a minor surgery. Post that I developed seroma right next to the Necrosis site. Surgeon made an incision and left it open, it leaks fluid and I use a pad to absorb it. Every 3 days my surgeon drains it, cleanes it and leaves it open. Later I also developed Hematoma on my right side of flanks. The doctor made a cut and drained out the blood twice so far and left it open. Am I heading the right direction?
Im a 35 yr female, 53 146 lbs. Ive had two children 10 years apart. After my last child I had full abdominoplasty, with lipo 360 and diastaisis recti repair. Ive had this bulge at the top of my abdomen that appeared 4 days post op. Im 7 months post op and I was hoping it was something my body could reabsorb. My surgeon wants to do surgeryHow can I tell if its a seroma vs hematoma vs ruptured sutures on my abdomen wall?
I had a MMO 6 months ago, and got a second intervention 3 days after to remove a hematoma that formed on the right size of my abdomen under my belly button. I got umbilical float tt. I did not have much skin and my wrinkles were pretty much around the belly button. I still have a pouch on my lower abdomen and sometimes looks like 2 pouches (lower and upper) What could it be? Dr says still inflammation. I used to look flatter before TT. I am adding before and after pics. Please help.
And I don't mean scar issues or hematoma. I mean actual issues with the muscle repair. My right side of my muscle repair surgery has felt stitched down since I woke up from my surgery, 5 years ago. I questioned my doc about it for two years, until he retired. Never getting a satisfactory answer. He definitely wanted to avoid the topic. Utilized buried uninterrupted figure8 #O Nurolon suture.

I had surgery 4/20 in the DR and developed a hematoma approximately 2 months post-op. I F/u with PCP who stated watch it. 2 wks after appt. the area was red, swollen, and had an abscess. I went to ER was admitted; I had I & D and IV Vanco. Dcd on Doxycycline BID x 2wks and Bactrim BID x 7 days. I f/u with PS who gave me a script for drainage under guided US that I had on 7/9 with approximately 8ml of fluid removed and I still have fluid, discoloration, and hardness remaining.
I had a TT on 6/27, and noticed my drain had stopped collecting on 6/28. I was told to milk the line and come back on 6/29 where I was told I had a hematoma. I have double homo MTHFR and was on lovenox.That was discontinued. Since then I have gotten 150/160ml between 4pm and 2:30am. I've been alternating a warm BAG, massage, milking, and cold compress. Is there anything else? Do I lie flat or sit up? I have an appointment tomorrow 6/30 to hear options. Will this ruin my results? I'm so upset.
I just recently have a tummy tuck and liposuction, after my doctor remove the drainage I was still collecting seroma and my doctor extracted with a syringe. a two weeks after my last extraction I feel like a hard ball on the top part of my abdomen close to my ribs cage. is the a hematoma or seroma? will massage help to minimize and how long would it last?
I am 3 months post op from tummy tuck, I had a hematoma removed 2 weeks post op. I am still extremely swollen on lower abdomen and does not show any signs of going down. I'm also concerned about belly button scar. I have attached before and after pics. My ps says give it 6 months but I am really discouraged right now. Pics attached before and after
