Hard Lumps Around My Incision, Stitches Left in and Sticking out and Uneven Tummy!

CG Cosmetics is the worst in customer service. I experienced them fast talking me to get my money, lost paperwork, no social distancing, changed surgery time the day of surgery, they barely speak English, they do not respond to emails or calls, the building looks sketch. They almost gave me faulty drip bag for my anesthesia and the anesthesiologist had to go off of the assistant for it as well as the surgical tech in the operating room who did something wrong (I was out of it) and he told her to move!!!
Dr. Loessin came in, said "I'm the doctor, marked my body and said that I was next. I had to stop him so that he could answer my questions about my tt, lipo and muscletightening. I only saw him for 5 mins or less the entire time I was there. I requested him and they said I couldn't see him unless it was an emergency.... Fast forward...After my surgery I my arms, toes, tongue and hands were numb... I was instructed to get the massages and I got 6 one a day and the drains were take out at day 7. I had about 27cc on the right and 17 cc on the left and they said the drains were ok to be removed.I have emailed them and no response. I will try again next week... Were the drains taken out to soon?I think my bellybutton is infected. It has yellowish like sticky stuff around it and when I squeeze it fluid that red and yellow is come from it. (Picture attached)I have a stick coming out of the left side of my stomach. What do I need to do? (Picture attached)I'm Leaking fluid from where the drain was on my left side. ( pic attached)The fluid is the yellow and red mix just like it was in the bulb of the drain. Its hard and lumpy around my incision and it looks like a tire or muffin top.I have fluid down the center of my stomach when I touch it its like a water balloon.Why is it soft in the middle of my stomach filled with fluids and hard around my incision?

I'm not a doctor but I could give you my experience. With my belly button I have fluid coming from it. I was concerned about it and went back in and they said everything was ok. In the beginning I thought my belly button was the ugliest thing ever. Now I love it. It takes time. Around your incision massage it. I used vitamin E oil. Now you can barely tell I have a incision. The side where my drain was leaked afterwards. Mine became painful so they removed it. It healed I used medihoney on it. Also it sounds like you described a dog's ear. That can be easily fixed. I have one and it will be fixed Thursday. You're still so early and trust me you'll love it in time. You already look good. I hope this helps.

Any plastic surgery is a risk and everybody heals different. As long as you have all your pre-ops done (is your life at stake, do it!) the rest should be no problem. I had Scott twice and yes the customer service is tedious but is a very busy clinic because they have the best prices in town. They give you lots of paperwork with instructions to follow. I always try to be in my best shape physically and mentally for any surgery for optimal recovery. Good luck!

Dr Loessin called me and told me to come see him. My belly button, incision and the drainage looks better. I still have fluid and lumps and this is what he will be addressing at my visit with him. I'm happy that she gets to see me and was very nice and understanding. Will send updated pictures after my visit with him. I feel and look a lot better. It's a process.
