go to the doctor
go mto the doctor
You need to see your doctor for an evaluation.
He/She may recommend external treatment only but more likely will want to prescribe antibiotics for you.
It's important that you get to the doctor as soon as possible, also because infected wounds tend to scar more.
Oh Goodness!!
Call your doctor NOW!
Call your plastic surgeon RIGHT AWAY. This is not something that you want to ignore. It can spread and get worse causing more problems than you can even imagine.

I am a nursing student.
Try filling the tub with Epsom salts, and soak. I had a breast lift and the same happened to me, and my doctor recommended this remedy!. If you see any yellow discharge, that does not look normal, or has a bad odor, get to your doctor immediately.
See your doctor ASAP! You don't want to get a staph infection in there it can be fatal. Any infection should be treated with anti-biotics.
GO SEE YOUR DOCTOR ASAP
go back to your doctor.
I am surprised that after 3 weeks of having surgery and you have developed an infection that you have not even called the doctor or went to see the doctor. Do you have any idea what you are dealing with?
YOU DO NEED TO GO TO THE DOCTOR!!
i have had 2 c sections and with my first my wound beacsme infected due to a dissolvable stitch not dissolving, bathe it with boiled cooled water with a little salt in it, this will keep it clean and avoid further infection. also add tea tree oil to your bath! you will need to get a 2 wk course of antibiotics from your dr this will clear it up straight away! hope this helped x p.s i want a tummy tuck too did it give u the results you wanted?
