I had a tummy tuck 8 months ago with no complications. Everything seemed fine until yesterday. I noticed a blister on my scar. It doesnt hurt at all and I dont have signs of infection. It doesnt feel hot and I have not had an infection.
I had a tummy tuck 8 months ago and had a few stitches spit and a little trouble healing around my drain site. This week I woke up with extreme swelling in my mons area. I also had pain so bad that I couldnt sleep and at one point I couldnt even talk through it. 2 days ago I had a large blister show up and is now protruding. Has anyone seen something like this at 8 months post-op?
Allergic to surgical tape so was glued (using dermabond?). Week 4 glued tape removed, ends of incision on both hip started itching and welting. Small blisters, spread to almost entire incision. Told to start moisturizing, got worse. Actual incision is fine...just alongside the top and bottom of it. PS put me on a 6day pack of prednisone and I switched from nivea to aveeno. I'm on day 4 meds now and areas seem less inflamed. Itching less intense. Any idea on why? And any advice? Thx in advance
I have had this one spot on my TT incision that at about 3 wks started oozing PS said spitting suture was to blame and they tried to get suture out but it was to deep so he said cover it and put ointment on it which I have been doing for 4 weeks it's recently formed a blister he saw it yesterday and said skin healing over it but poked it to open it back up and it was bleeding but he said thats good. Will this ever heal? Will my body absorb it? Or spit it out? I really worry about it! Thank you!
Im 5 days PO and I just left my one week follow up appointment. My PS said that everything looked alive and it was healing well but she also mentioned I had a blister by my incision. She did not expound on her comment. I didnt even remember she noted it until I got home. The color started out pale, is now pink with a small black blister. Is this an early sign of necrosis? What can I do to prevent further damage? What are the long term effects?
Hello. I notice many patients have the tape/steri strips over their tummy tuck incisions. I had a horrible reaction to the strips with my last c-section which left my stomach itchy, red and blistered and I had to take antibiotics. Is there an alternative to the strips following the tummy tuck procedure?
Since I came home I have had a big bruise under my belly button, it has gotten lighter in color, but 2 days ago it had blisters that popped and now look weird, every time I put my compression garment on they bleed. I did have a horrible allergic reaction to the tape that was placed all over my body. What do you think necrosis ?
