Rashes for plastic surgery
on 9/12/17 5:14 pm
i am 4 months post-op. I started getting a rash about 2.5 inches by 1 inch in the side of my belly fold. I am hoping insurance will pay for a tummy tuck or abdominaplasty, tho who knows. But if I wanted to make the case, how frequently does it have to be documented? I did it at the 3.5 month mark, bot some medicine for it, and am not scheduled to see the surgeon again for 3 months.
the rash has improved with the medicine, which is good. And it is just in this one place for now. I am not trying to make it worse or prevent it from healing.
