I am 3 weeks post op TT. I'm wanting to know if the skin bunching close to my incision line is normal. Also, what can I do to lessen my scars redness as well as keep it flat. I purchased embrace scar therapy but it has eaten away at my skin and is to painful to continue. Thank you in advance for your time and response.
Hi I had a tummy tuck and a lipo about 3 1/2 weeks ago. I am really concern because I was healing very well but this past weekend my tummy stated to looks red and my body temperature sometimes drops to 96.5 or raises up to 102.5 I went to my doctors office an everything looks good besides the redness. The nurse dont understands the ups an downs of my body temp. What should I do?
It's been 6 months since my surgery I had a hernia repair along with a abdominoplasty and my scar is still very red and now itchy.. I don't scratch it us e only natural organic products to bath that have no sulfur. I use constantly... Extra virgin Coconut oil.. Argan oil .. Coco butter and now Vitamin E is there anything else I can use to lighting the scar.
So I have my TT 8 weeks ago. I still have redness around my belly button and the ends of my incision are slightly sunkin. My doctor says he will watch it to see if I need revisions. My question is have you seen this sunkin scar before? My drains where put on the ends of my incision scar so Im wondering is this what caused the sunkin. Also I like my belly button shap not the redness I dont like . Have you seen these things before?
Youll see in the photos, I have some sections of my incision that appear unusual to me. Sitches and redness. I traveled to see my surgeon so I am unable to visit with him in person. I just wanted professional opinion about these small things. Also, do I seem overly swollen for 19 days out? I was a big girl, how can I tell if Im dealing with swelling or fat? Thank you!
Ive been exercising last 2 weeks and did a light walk run tonight. After the shower this redness has shown up and is still present 2 hours later. No pain or fever. I have a couple of suture tips close to the surface but nothing festering. Ive had some tiny red spots Ive been suspicious of last few weeks too. My surgery was OS and GP knows nothing sorry, just says it all looks good. Im wearing compression religiously still.
