Belly button infected after Tummy Tuck?? 2 wks post op.
Potentially cellulitic (infected belly button after Tummy Tuck) or potentially necrotic
Apr 11, 2018
Hard to tell from a photo without an exam, but appears it might be cellulitic (infected) & the umbilicus (belly button) may be partly necrotic (dead). You need to contact your Plastic Surgeon immediately, who MUST either be available to you or have another appropriately qualified (usually another genuine FRACS Plastic Surgeon) covering for him or her. Going to your local GP, alone, is not appropriate for this and your Surgeon should be able to assist you. A Surgeon’s responsibility is to…
Is this normal or should I be worried? 2 weeks post-op breast reduction.
After Breast Reduction: Circular Stitches, Puffyness
Jul 16, 2017
It is difficult to comment on a limited photo selection. It would potentially be helpful to see both sides (as well as your pre-operative photographs). Based on a limited post-surgical photograph only of one side, there does appear to be some puffiness of the nipple; this might be due to the circular stitches around the nipple being a little tight during healing. As these stitches dissolve, this usually settles…
What should I do? Why do I have this bulge?
Investigation for Bulge after Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Mar 13, 2017
In this case, if there was rapid swelling post-surgery, it could certainly be due to deep fluid build up. One of the best investigation methods is a simple ultrasound procedure, at which time your Surgeon may also drain fluid. Older techniques attempted to prevent a seroma using drains (external tubes), but they are often uncomfortable or painful, and they limit mobility & don’t work that well. Instead of drains during a Tummy Tuck,…
Should I consider tummy tuck or lipo?
Should I consider tummy tuck or lipo?
Jul 8, 2015
Hi elkatita,

From looking at your photos you certainly look like
you need a full abdominal muscle repair with tummy tuck. Your bulging abdomen
indicates your rectus muscle hasn’t returned to the midline following your
pregnancies and will need to be repaired. The loose, overhanging skin and fat will be removed and tightened, giving you a much flatter abdomen. I don’t believe you would benefit
from liposuction alone, but this should be incorporated into your tummy tuck procedure to…

Bloating after Breast Augumentation. When will this go away?
Bloating after Breast Augumentation. When will this go away?
Jul 8, 2015
Hi teebeee,

Unfortunately the bloating is probably a side
effect of your pain medication and general anaesthetic. Pain medication containing pethadine, codeine and endone often cause constipation. Bloating and constipation can last for
around a week following surgery; you should start to return to normal over the coming days.
Herbal tea and healthy eating should help you feel back to normal sooner. If
you are still experiencing significant bloating over the next few days, contact
your…

Can I drive after I come home from BA surgery?
Can I drive after I come home from BA surgery?
Jul 8, 2015
Hi AbetterSelfNOW,

We advise our patients to avoid driving for at
least 1 week. A temporary reduction in movement can mean you could put yourself or others at risk. You
certainly should not drive on the day of your surgery following a general
anaesthetic, as you will be very drowsy and your reflexes will be somewhat
delayed. We advise our patients to have someone to drive them home on the day of surgery.All the best,Craig

Do I have tuberous breasts or breast ptosis?
Do I have tuberous breasts or breast ptosis?
Jul 8, 2015
Hi chasao,

You do have very irregular, underdeveloped breasts, and there is evidence of tuberosity. Ptosis
refers to sagging, so you do present with ptosis of the breasts. I believe you
would require an in depth assessment to weigh up your options. I believe you
may require a bilateral mastopexy (breast lift), and a unilateral reduction on the right, with simultaneous bilateral breast implants. This
would require meticulous, precise planning and measurement to achieve a
pleasing result. I…
