Tummy Tuck + Sneezing Q&A

How does coughing or sneezing affect one's sutures after a Tummy Tuck?

I am two weeks post op. I sneezed yesterday. I felt a pop near my incision on my left side. A little swelling started in my lower abdomen. My drain started filling faster. Did I ruin my results. I woke up this morning and my lower abdomen is still swollen it is hard to explain but my stomach does not feel as tight on the inside This is so frustrating.

I am six weeks post Tummy Tuck. I have been sneezing a little more than usual due to allergies. It burns and hurts so bad. How long before a sneeze or cough will no longer be so painful?

I am about 22 days post op and still have a lot of pain when I cough - especially when I sneeze. Is this normal? Im paranoid that I may undo my muscle repair! Thanks, doctors!

Hi, I've just had a tummy tucky a week ago,yesterday I made two very strong movements with my core by accident; and I sneezed sometimes, I felt the skin stretching and a bit uncomfortable.My questions are: Can the muscle untie bcse of a strong movement with the core after tummy tuck? What will be the consequences of this strong movement + sneezing? I'll appreciate a lot a answer since I'm so scared and quite freaking out on the fact that I may have ruined my future results :/.Tnks a lot!

I am 4 weeks post TT and unhelpfully have caught a cold. I am sneezing and coughing a lot.... Can I damage the op by coughing and sneezing a lot?
