I had A tummy tuck November 8th, and last night I noticed that my belly button was draining a clear discharge. It had a smell to it. I have had discharge from my belly button before which looked clear and bloody, but that was at 2-3 weeks post op. I noticed I have a long stitch sticking out in the inside of my belly button that has been there since day one.. Its just not long enough to be cut. My belly button does not look infected or hurt. Its just that discharge coming out from the inside.
Hi - its been 6 weeks into my tummy tuck / lipo. 3 weeks into the recovery my wound was seperated (approx 2 inch wide - 1 inch high). Showed it to my PS and he indicated it will heal by itself. Last week there is a very strong pungent odor that has been coming of the wound and with some fluid....called up my PS and indicated the same and per him not to worry. Just want a second opinion to make sure I am not missing anything....
I had a full TT with augmentation in January. Thefirst month it has began to seep. It is crusty and has a faint, unpleasant odor. I asked my surgeon and he said it was probably a stitch that had worked out. I keep antibiotic ointment on it but over the last couple weeks m exhausted & last week had a day that I was horribly nauseous and had to sleep for several hours. Now I am consistantly mildy nauseous. It's gotten so that I can only eat a little bit at a time. Can this be connected?
I live in Huntsville Alabama. My stomach sit over my private area. Under the flat it has odor and sometimes get bumps or rashes. Is there a plastic surgery school in the south that offers a discounted tummy tuck
Im literally a walking trash can. The odor from the open wound is so strong and i leak. Im changing gauze padding and underwear 3 times aday. My PS preSCRIBED me Dankin solution but it barely works. Help
I had a tummy tuck about 9 months ago and there is a problem with my navel. I keep getting green clear discharge so the doctor gave me antibiotics but it never cleared. As i have had this procedure done abroad i need to find a doctor local in London otherwise have to fly back out. My surgeon reckons it could be a stitch inside which needs a navel revision. He reckons i may have a granuloma from the stitch. Doctor also took swab and came back clear so no infection. What can this be ?
I am 6 weeks post op. Didnt have a belly button for over 20 years. Lost my original when I did gastric bypass. Surgeon created this belly button. Started leaking. No odor and I dont feel bad. Just this and being swollen and feeling sad.
