swelling with abdominal plasty

Guest · Guest

I am so pleased to have read all of the above. I am only 3 weeks post TT and feel 4 months pregnant! I have had low blood count which accounts for all tiredness and that is picking up now but I really really want to be out of joggers and back into normal clothes.

I HAD ABDOMINALPLASTY TO REVISE AN OLD CESEARN SCAR ALONG WITH ABDOMINAL HYSTERECTOMY. I HAD TO HAVE AN ABDOMINAL HYSTERECTOMY SECONDARY TO SCAR TISSUE THAT HAD ADHEARED MY UTEREUS TO MY ABDOMEN. I CAN SAY THAT I WAS TOTALLY SHOCKED WHEN I SAW THE SCAR AND MY NAVEL. MAN I CANT FIGURE THIS NAVEL THING OUT. WHAT IS GOOD AND BAD TISSUE AND WHAT WILL IT LOOK LIKE IN THE END. I HAD SURGERY ON JUNE THE 11, ITS NOW JUNE THE 30 AND ALL I SEE IS A HOLE WITH LOTS OF WHITE TISSUE, DOESNT LOOK LIKE A NAVEL. MY DOCTOR IS NOT MUCH HELP, JUST SAYS YOU MAY WANT TO STICK SOME GAUZE IN THERE, IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME. IF I KNEW FOR SURE IT WOULD HEAL CORRECTLY, I WOULDNT WORRY SO MUCH. I DO HAVE LOTS OF LOWER ABDOMEN SWELLING BUT SEEM TO BE HEALING OK. I DIDNT EXPECT ALL THE FLUID BUILD UP BUT I DIDNT ASK A WHOLE LOT OF QUESTIONS EITHER. SHOULD HAVE THOUGH. DOES ANYONE OUT THERE KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE NAVEL AREA, NEED SOME FEED BACK PLEASE.

I am nearly 4 weeks post op abdominoplasty. This week has been hell. Have done very well till now, scar perfect handlebar no leaks and my belly button is georgous. But fluid has been taken out 3times by syringe and last week by needle & ultra sound. I am swollen and so tight, and really over it now. Worried that I will end up needing further surgery due to psuedo-bursa caused by continual fluid needing to be removed. Preop I did lots of research but not heard of psuedo-bursa, till now after trawling the net for info. back to DR tomorrow.
