tummy tuck drain isn't draining?

Tummy tuck drain isn't draining?

Normally the fluid drains for 4-5 days after tummy tuck, and then begins to reduce. They are removed 1 to 2 weeks after surgery when the draining fully stops.

 

In only the following events the fluid doesn't drain:

  • Drains become blocked. This is either due to default issues with the drains, or because there are large seromas in the tube that can be removed.
  • It could also be that there is no fluid left.
  • It is also possible that you have fluid stored in the tissues (edema) rather than the surgical space, and this fluid won't drain from the tubes but will improve with time.

What should you do?

  • See a surgeon who can check your drains and guide on what steps are to be taken next.

I just started taking prevention pills (mordette pills) and I want to start taking slimz cut (weight loss pills) would it be okay

Female | 18

Whenever you are mixing two different types of pills, you should be cautious. Mordette should be taken for protection and Slimz Cut for shedding off some extra pounds. It can be dangerous to use them together. There might be side effects due to the unknown interactions when pills are mixed without knowledge. It is recommended that you talk to a healthcare provider before taking any new drug.

InVaginal surgery which is good humenoplasty or vaginal tightening

Female | 24

Both hymenoplasty and vaginal tightening are surgical procedures, but they serve different purposes and are chosen for different reasons. The choice between hymenoplasty and vaginal tightening depends on your specific goals and concerns. Have a thorough consultation with a your gynecologist or consult plastic surgeon in your area, who can assess your individual needs and provide guidance on the most appropriate procedure for you.

I'm 18 and just had a septoplasty surgery two days ago and I'm struggling to manage the pain but I also have some questions about the splints placed inside my nose

Female | 18

It is common to have pain following septoplasty. The splints inside your nose are meant to support the healing process. Due to them, you might feel discomfort, pressure, or blocked-up sensation but do not try touching or removing them all the same. Follow the doctor’s advice for managing the pain and keeping the nose clean. In case of any concerns, do not hesitate to contact your healthcare provider immediately.

I have armpit fat on both sides so what to do about it

Female | 26

Our bodies store­ extra energy in fat pocke­ts. Armpit fat is normal. More body fat means more fat e­verywhere, including armpits. Bodie­s differ; that's okay. Eating well, and exe­rcising regularly can reduce ove­rall fat, and promote health.

Can i use butt enlargement at 16 or 17 Can i also take gain weight pills at 16 or 17

Female | 16

Using butt enlargement or weight gain pills at ages 16 or 17 is generally not recommended without medical guidance. Cosmetic procedures should wait until your body has fully matured, and weight management should be approached through healthy nutrition and exercise with the advice of your doctor.

Why do I have breasts even when I am a man it's been 2 years and it's not going iam not able to wear t-shirts and I feel ashamed and iam not even that overweight

Male | 18

The condition of breast enlargement in men is called gynecomastia. It can be due to hormonal changes, medications or health conditions. It is advised that a plastic surgeon should be consulted for further evaluation and management. Do not medicate yourself, or take nonprescription medications without consulting a doctor.

Hi ,My name is Reena G Tandel.my right plam got burn during ganpati aarti from camphor I went to the dr he cut the whole burn part of my plam it took months to heal and sometime my hand hurts do you suggest any plastic surgery on the plam I'm getting married this year I need help and what will be the cost of the surgery please reply

Female | 34

I advise you to visit a certified plastic surgeon. Upon proper diagnosis and after seeing the extent of the injury, shape and size of your scar and other things, the surgeon will decide which treatment is appropriate for you and whether plastic surgery is an option for you or not. Talking about the cost, the cost varies depending on the complexity of the procedure and the type of anesthesia.
