48 year old healthy female Post op drainless tummy tuck. Was in hospital with pneumonia three days post op. They injected me 5 times and my stomach swelled up into this huge hematoma. It created this huge hematoma, necrosis and seroma. Had multiple drainings and surgical removal. Needed a blood transfusion. Plastic surgeon was upset and now I am facing corrective surgery.
I was hospitalized 3 weeks ago due to asthma and pneumonia. I took a lot of medications during and after my stay and my doctor who was going to give me clearance found out that I was pregnant, He says the antibiotics could've interfered with the pills. My tummy tuck is set for 3/9/15. I just wanted to know if my date will be pushed back. I am just beyond embarrassed to tell my surgeon, but I know I have no choice. Please help!
I had a tummy tuck about 10 weeks ago and I ended up with cellulitis at about 5 weeks out. I healed from that but I had 2 incision openings because they had to drain the fluid. Now, I have pneumonia. I ended up in the ER with a low grade fever and shortness of breath. They diagnosed me with pneumonia and gave antibiotics(oral). So my question is could the TT issues be the cause? Because my wounds were open for like 4 weeks. Also, my upper abs are extremely tender. The PS says this is normal.
