Had Tummy Tuck Surgery. Getting Abdominal Pain With Tightness. How To Get Relief?

Tummy tuck procedures involve a lot of dissection of the skin and under surface fat. Although they are considered safe. In your case, as you are suggesting that right side scar is painful and tender to touch and is also inflamed, it quit clear that there is a possible infection over that area. Infections occur mostly if any thrombus is left behind. You should immediately see your treating surgeon who may would like to examine the suture area and suggest you some antibiotics like amoxyciline or cifixime for your infected area. You may also require some pain killers like ibuprofen to reduce the pain.
You should no delay these steps as the infection, if progresses, can become bad.
