I had an abdominalplasty a couple years ago and started noticing a foul smell emanating from my belly button. Couple days later I noticed it being extremely sensitive and slightly uncomfortable to touch. I am guessing this is an infection of some sort but was wondering about treatment and why would it be smelling bad? Thanks
I am almost 4 weeks post op TT and lipo a few days ago I had what looked like a pimple along the incision line, it has now developed into a small hole about 5mm big and there's yellowish fluid. It's not sore but I think it smells when I took the surgical tape off (it came away from the wound so I replaced). I have hay-fever at the moment, something I don't normally suffer from so not sure if what I think smelling is real or not. Overall I absolutely love my new shape and have recovered well.
2 weeks 2days post op FLUER DE LIS TT i began bleeding out BELLY BUTTON area. PS said wounds are common. This wound went from size of a dime to now my entire fist fits in it. I asked can it just be stitched back he assured itll cause infection. 3 times aday i change guaze filled with water and dankin solution pads and tape. Smell is horrific. I can barely function daily. I only want to lay down. I go every wednesday. He cleans it redress it and sends me on way. I need options or clarity on this. Please HELP
Im two months post of tummy tuck and lipo . Im still leaking fluid from my belly button at times it looks like clear yellow clear reddish and maybe at times clear greenish . At night if I let it breathe I wake up with my belly button wet and with a funky smell . If I lay down and squeeze my belly the fluid comes up . Will this ever heel ? Will it ever close ? Should I go to the emergency room to get tested ? I have no pain no fever no signs of infection
I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair and flank lipo 8 weeks ago. I will post a pic of my belly button at 5 weeks and one today at 8 weeks. There's inflammation and crusting but no pain. Sometimes it'll smell bad, like a stinky foot lol. I'll put some water and peroxide mix about onxe a week to kill that smell/bacteria. I'm wondering if my belly button will ever heal. I'm also having extreme pain to the left of it. Not sure if it's a nerve or related to my belly button. I'm going to make an appt
The liquid coming out of my drain became dark red with a foul smell. My doctor keep telling me it's just old blood'' but I'm still concerned because it didn't smell like this before. The amount has decreased from 40 ml a day to 25ml a day. Thank you.
