This Is What The Incisions & Drain May Look Like

[ForMyGirls 18]

I was curious before surgery what the incisions would look like after surgery, so I thought I'd put up some post-op pics. These are about 4 or five days out. For me, only one of the incisions really hurt and the drain was mostly just annoying.

I was fortunate & didn't have to have a drain! had 4 holes(tiny incisions) & 1 medium incision...

Your's look quite large. Mine were located a bit differently: http://3.bp.blogspot...s1600/Ports.jpg

4 wounds were average 0.3in and the largest 0.7in, where the stomach was pulled from.

I also had no drain post op.

Thank you for sharing, this is something I looked for a lot on YouTube. Incision size/placement is definitely dependant on your surgeon. My incisions have different placement than yours and all but one are a good deal smaller in size. I have an incision right above my navel that is horizontal and about the size of yours. The incision for the drain is the smallest of them all, which I thought was interesting.

My incisions (except the drain) are about half the size of yours. My placement was pretty similar.

What causes the huge bruise on the lower section? That wasn't visible on me until post op day 4.

Possibly from the Clexane injections?
