Question 1

i recently had a dimplesplasty.  now i have huge hematomas on each side in my cheeks.  i want them gone.  can they be surgically removed?

Accepted Answer

Maybe.: Was this done by an abps-certified plastic surgeon? If not, seek one or more out and get additional opinions about what must be done rather urgently. You need re-operation to deal with the problem of what sounds like a surgical misadventure the first time around. If you are seeing a reputable abps plastic surgeon, you should already be planning evacuation in the or. Do not delay.

Question 2

im eight months removed from testicular injury and still have a large hematoma that has not decreased in size since the accident.  any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

Here are some...: Can you specify what was removed after testicular injury? The swelling from tissue injury either by trauma or surgery should be resolved in 4 to 6 months.  If not, eight months after injury is the time to be reassessed with physical examination and ultrasound study. Meanwhile, it would be useful to bring the detail of the sequence of events since injury to the doctor for the analysis.

Question 3

what is recovery time after a craniotomy to remove a epidural hematoma?

Accepted Answer

Less than 8 weeks: Recovery time depends on the cause for surgery and the patient's overall health status. If the operation was successful and uncomplicated, then recovery is usually quick, since there is a rich blood supply to the area. Recovery can take up to eight weeks, but patients are often functioning very well sooner than eight weeks.

Question 4

what is the recovery time after a hematoma is removed from my ankle. i've had the mass for several months and it swells every time i skate?

Accepted Answer

Would depend: On size, location among some things none of which you mention. In reality, the person who would know best is your surgeon.

Question 5

why is my scalp numb? i have a hematoma after stitches removed 3 weeks ago following accident

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: The doctor who is doing the follow-up visit(s) after the initial care of the injury can check to see if the numbness is a normal amount of numbness. Anytime there is a cut in the skin, whether by surgery or trauma or a combination of both, some of the nerves in the top layer of skin will get cut or damaged... thus leading to a numb area around the wound.

Question 8
