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.

Signs of fluffing after bbl?
Female | 42
Fluffing is the time after a BBL, where transferred fat settles and makes its way into the surrounding tissue. During this time, the buttocks become less hard and feel more natural to touch compared with seven days after surgery. The shape may also seem more rounded and distinct as swelling ebbs and the fat enlarges slightly. There is usually an enhancement in shape and smoothness of the buttocks region. Regular follow-ups with your surgeon are important to monitor these changes and ensure the proper healing of wounds.

Hi my name is kushal so i have gap between my front teeths which makes my smile bad so i want to solve this problem by composite bonding
Male | 18
The space between the two front teeth is called a diastema. This could be due to genetic predisposition, gum disease, or thumb-sucking. Composite bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored substance is applied to your teeth to fill the space. It is a straightforward and quick process that can help you achieve a more uniform smile. Discuss this option with your dentist.

When can i wear a push up bra after implants?
Female | 44
Wearing a push-up bra after breast implant surgery will vary depending on individual healing and your surgeon’s recommendation. Surgeons usually advise wearing a surgical or sports bra for support in the early stages of recovery. After some time as your healing goes on, the surgeon will indicate that it’s safe for you to use bras with underwire or further padding like push-up fibers. It is imperative to follow your surgeon’s postoperative instructions in order for proper healing and best results. It is recommended to ask your surgeon individually about when it’s safe for you to incorporate push up bras into postoperative care.

Male | 20
The discomfort might come from your previous Gynecomastia surgery. One side of the chest could have pain because of inflammation or collection of fluids. It would be best if you saw a doctor about this who can advise on what treatment may be needed and any further tests that need doing.

When can i blow my nose after rhinoplasty?
Male | 33
After a rhinoplasty, it is usually recommended to refrain from nose blowing for several weeks as the healing process can be disturbed. This can vary greatly depending on the surgical procedure itself and your individual healing timetable. It is necessary to follow the specific postoperative instructions of your plastic surgeon. They can give a tailored schedule when it is safe to return doing such activities as nose blowing. It is very important to have regular follow-up appointments so they can monitor your healing and ensure that you recover successfully.

Female | 22
It is critical to conduct thorough research before you decide on phalloplasty treatment. Among these activities, decide between the main ones, including the phalloplasty prostheses. For instance, the options are the radial forearm flap, which is the primary choice of donor tissue for phalloplasty, the anterolateral thigh flap (ALT), or the pedicled flaps. The real deal is that every variety carries its advantages and disadvantages. Make it a point to have a thorough conversation with your plastic surgeon and get the best treatment option.
