What Causes Swelling Above Scar And Orange Colored Discharge After An Abdominoplasty?
I had a tummy tuck roughly 3 weeks ago out of state so i can t just go see my surgeon. I was healing very well but once I got home I started to swell above my scar and it getting bigger every day. I have been very active and lifting somethings but not a lot . In the last week it s gotten harder to bend over and one part of my insison is leaking an orange colored liquid... I m worried about sermoa and infection. What should I do.

HI
Well come to HCM
This is not the infection if you do not have fever, swelling, headache, such oozing of orange liquid some time happens in healing phase, and this is nothing to worry, this would be okay, if this long last and shows some clinical symptoms then this need to be investigated, hope this information helps, take care have a nice day.
