Asked for Female | 46 Years
Hi. I am 46 years old mother of 2 children aged 13 and 4yrs. In September 2021 I got liposuction and tummy tuck done. After 6 weeks of wearing the prescribed compression garments and daily massages post surgery, I started noticing big, hard eruptions on my stomach area. Some are red and some are very painful. The doctor punctured one of the eruptions to see if any fluid came out but it did not. He then ask me to use Tbac and put me on anti inflammatory medicine+ flexon. Then one day from the eruption i noticed a pus like fluid. Went to the doctor again. A pus culture was done. No bacteria found. Doctor said looks like it is a suture issue with my body not being able to get rid of the dissolvable stitches. He gave me tricort injections on the hard lumps. Now almost 3 weeks later, some are better but new large and painful ones have also formed. Please advise your thoughts on this and what you feel could be wrong. I am very worried.

I think it's still 2 months post surgery. There could be inflammatory reaction because of the sutures. It is possible so we need to see the pictures to evaluate it correctly and I think most of the times they dissolve by themselves. If there's no fever or any other issues, just you can wait for some more time for body to respond to the inflammatory reaction though active intervention is required.
Right now you can share the picture so that we can evaluate it better. still it's just 2 months old we would prefer to wait and watch. You can also visit best plastic surgeon in India for exact treatment.

It is essential to consult with your surgeon or get a second option from another qualified health provider. Ongoing difficulties after surgery should be investigated carefully and may require imaging studies to evaluate the situation. All suture-related concerns, infections, or any other complications should be ruled out.
