I had a tummy tuck on the 7th November last and
since then I have had several infections! At the
beginning of January this year my tummy became
extremely swollen I looked 8 months pregnant, I also
had a fever, I was taken back into hospital where
they found I had a severe infection and a severe
collection of seroma that had formed into a capsule!
They operated to remove it all and I had surgical
drains put again, I had the drains removed after a
week then 3 days later my tummy started swell again,
my surgeon tried to remove the fluid with a syringe
in 5 different places but was unsuccessful, I was
then taken back into hospital the following week for
yet another procedure to remove the seroma! I have
now had the drains in from the last operation for 2
weeks but at the beginning of the second week my
tummy is swollen again in a pregnancy type shape and
is quite large! Can you tell me when will all this stop and what is the best way to treat it! I'm really fed up with it now and would just like my life back to normal!, With thanks Natasha |
