Hi, I am almost 2 weeks post op and have been doing great. I am applying Vaseline twice a day as instructed by my PS and changing my dressing daily. Of course I am wearing my binder around the clock, except for showers and dressing changes. I have been sleeping on my sides (carefully) with pillows, as approved by my surgeon. I am not walking completely straight, but move around fairly easily. This morning I noticed that my skin is a little yellow. Is this normal healing?
I am 3 weeks post tummy tuck and my incision steri strips fell off in the center. The incision is splitting about a quarter of an inch open in the center and there is yellow pus oozing from the center. Is this normal? Will it close back up or do I need it re-sutured?
I just changed the tape on my incision and noticed that there is a small hole that's yellowish I'm wondering if it ok to put tape back on it or should I let it get some air. I'm kinda worried but can't get in touch with my ps until Monday
I had a tummy tuck. It was all black and now all of that is removed and bright yellow fat remains. My question is, will the granulation tissue cover this yellow fat? Is it alive or does it need to be removed? PS said if/when the granulation tissue grows over the yellow part, my new skin will start to grow pretty quick A wound care doctor told me when it was black that everything needed to be cut out I was told by a Wound Care group, That yellow has to come out in order for me to heal.
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.
Hello I am 16 days PO dull tummy tuck. I had an area above my incision that was a dark scab and it fell off. Now it looks yellow/white colored. No pus or drainage. Is this a normal color? I covered back up with the tape given by PS. Thanks
