Guest guest Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 For the guys on our list who have had abdominoplasty or panniculectomy, my dear hubby has asked me for some help. He had his " bikini incision " abdominoplasty and a nasty hernia repaired 10 days ago. His surgeon has had him wearing a binder 24 hours a day. So here's his concern: he is noticing quite a bit of fluid retention in the pubic area (not the scrotum, but that tissue right above Mr. Lucky). He is a bit worried about whether the surgeon is going to want to aspirate the fluid and really stressing about it. His surgery is a bit different than mine (which was a full anchor incision, my drains were actually in the mons, and I did not wear a binder), so I don't have any advice. I know I had quite a bit of fluid build up which did eventually go away. So guys - did you experience this fluid retention? How long until it went away, and did anyone come at you with one of those dreadful needles to drain fluid? Kate (who is really and truly trying not to snigger over the whole situation) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
