It's been 2 months since my TT & hernia repair surgery. My scar is very long, quite thick & red/purple. Is there anything I can do to make it better? I've been applying MEBO Scar & other silicone-based creams for well over a month now..
I had a tummy tuck and lipo suction 7 weeks ago, they took out my first drain 3 weeks after surgery but I still have 1 drain in. I am still draining about 75 cc a 24 hr. period. The doctor put in iodine and the draining subsided for the first 2 days, but now I'm back to 75 cc a day. I am freaking out!What am I doing wrong? What can I do to help draining stop?
I had a full TT with lipo on the flanks just shy of 7 weeks ago. I woke up a tad more swollen than normal and spent the day shopping wearing my CG. I noticed while driving over bumps there was a jiggle in my abs that I never noticed before. By 7pm, was pretty swollen and there was a jello effect on my abs. This AM, no jello or ripple effect. Its been hot and humid so is this just swelling or a seroma? How to tell the difference? Thanks!
My concern is a protruding hard pouch I have has since week 2 post tummy tuck. It goes from below the belly button to the mons pubis. I have raised with my PS. He is not concerned yet.They have sent me a second 4 panel binder to put on over my original compression body suit. This helps flatten but it comes back. The 1st two images were taken first thing in the morning and last one was after a full day of wearing my new binder. What is wrong and why am I not flat yet? Should I be worried?
Had full tummy tuck with 2 drains which were removed after 3 days. Less that 1 week later I developed a seroma which PS aspirated. There was 340mls. A week later I noticed more fluid. PS aspirated 90mls. That was 2 weeks ago. Fluid is collecting again and I feel pressure on my lower abdomen. Im not due back to PS for another 2 weeks. I am terrified that the seroma will encapsulate tho at the moment it is wavey. PS not too keen on aspirating and says it will go away on its own. What should I do?
I am coming up to 10 weeks post op tummy tuck. I took my compression garment off and my binder last week after wearing them round the clock. I have noticed increased swelling. Should I put the compression garment binder back on ?
I am 7 weeks post op of a tt surgery, and just removed the dressing out of my belly button and i am concern. I have always had a meaty looking belly button but because it was a inny it wasn't that bad looking but after surgery it looks really ugly. Should I try the marbel or earplug method on my belly button. My surgeon said it needed to air out but sfter I saw him I researched a little and saw those to methods sometimes work should I try it?
I had hernia repair, muscle repair and tummy tuck surgery March 31. A couple of weeks ago I went to have it checked because it was still oozing and irritated. The surgeon noticed a white spot that he claimed was a dissolvable clamp and he cut a piece of it out. Today I noticed another white spot just like the first one. My question is, could this be something accidentally left inside of me or is there really such a thing as a dissolvable hard plastic clamp used in the belly button area?
