how can I prevent further necrosis after a tummy tuck?
my mom had a tummy tuck, and now has necrosis on the upper flap. The doc cut alot away, leaving a square hole about 3″x6″x1″ (w x l x depth) cut out of her belly skin right down to the parietal pericardium. Now the upper flap seems to be turning dark again. What should we do?
To tell you the truth there is nothing you can really do.If your mom is a smoker that is most likely the cause and if she stops immediately it may be possible for her body to reverse the damage that has just started to occur.Smoking decreases blood flow over time and makes it more difficult to heal.If she is not a smoker then the only thing you can do is make sure she follows all the post op instructions to the letter and keep a close eye on the area.Take her to the doctor at the first sign of anything going wrong.Her recovery time will be increased ,but you can speed it up by making sure she gets alot of rest and follows a proper diet,because the longer it takes to heal the more opportunity for further damage.I hope she gets better soon.
