Suggest Permanent Solution To Eliminate Lumps Protruding After Tummy Tuck Surgery

I am 39year old woman, in good health, with an average BMI. After tummy tuck surgery 2 months ago, I seem to be getting pea-sized fibrosis under the skin at the scar location - most likely where the sutures were. At other locations one or two sutures are protruding through the skin. I am concerned about the pea-sized lumps because they formed on a previous umbilical hernia operation, and were permanent. They were removed during the abdominoplasty but now I am getting new ones. The lumps are not painful, but can be seen/felt through my skin. Is there any treatment to eliminate the lumps permanently?

Hi,Dear,
Thanks for the query to HCM. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns.
Cause and plan of Treatment-
In my opinion on the given data,you seem jto have F.B.(Foreign Body)reactions to the knots used,parts of which being left in the body,is causing all these pea-sized lumps at the tummy tuck surgery you had recently.
It could be permanently removed only after corrective surgery of the tummy tuck wound scar and so you need to consult ER Surgeon for this treatment.So I would advise you to consult a ER Surgeon.
Hope this would resolve your issues.Act fast.
So keep cool and Consult your ER Surgeon, if need be , who would treat it accordingly.
So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you, but just ask a query to HCM and be comfortable to resolve your health issues.
Welcome for any more query in this regard to HCM.
