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.

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.

Hlo I'm varun bhatt i have to done my surgery before 1 year it's called Gynocomestia and after year I mean to say today I'm feeling a little pain in my one side of cheast and i feel like something inside my chest

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.
