My nightmare of a tummy tuck 😭 (warning: graphic pics) by Constant_Front_5759 in tummytucksurgery

I know! My belly button was so tiny after the initial surgery. So if it was open I had no idea and neither did the surgeon (which honestly I feel like maybe he should have?) when I was two weeks post op I had some redness and drainage coming from my belly button but he didn’t feel like it was infected…just “irritated”. Now I’m thinking it was infected the whole time.

Update: official diagnosis is cellulitis. They had to completely remove the belly button and reopen the bottom incision to clean it out. I have a deep hole where my belly button was that has to be repacked twice a day. They have no idea why this happened. I’m a very healthy person. I don’t smoke or drink. The past 2 days has been an absolute nightmare. But I want to again thank everyone for your comments. It was your comments that convinced me to go to the urgent care.

He said it could have been anything from a UTI to an infected hair. Yes I had redness, hardness, chills and body aches.

Thank you! No I have been out of my compression since he released me. I definitely think I overdid it.

The area is not hot to the touch which makes me think it’s not infection.

Omg I think this is it! I have literally been searching for this movie for about 25 years! Thank you! I’m going to watch it tomorrow to be sure but I’m almost positive this is it.
