5 weeks post op bruise ?

Anyone still have bruising around 5 weeks post op? Pic attached . I have this slight bruising by my main incision. I really didn't even realize it until now and hope it's not new. I'm sure I'm just paranoid ....? I did take Lovenox. But only for a week after surgery

  • I am 6 weeks out and have had one bruise about the size of a fist right near my main incision. I asked my surgeon at 2 week checkup and he said no worries, pretty common. Also, its about 6 shades gree

  • When I took Lovenox I bruised really bad like that for a long time. I used it throughout my entire pregnancy so my poor belly was like one big bruise.

  • I didn't have bruises near my incisions, but the incisions themselves are still red. And you can still see exactly where I got all my heparin shots, 5 weeks later. Those things bruise like mad. Bodies

Thank you guys for the peace of mind!!! Your mind sure goes crazy worrying after surgery

I didn't have bruises near my incisions, but the incisions themselves are still red. And you can still see exactly where I got all my heparin shots, 5 weeks later. Those things bruise like mad. Bodies are weird!

I am 4 weeks post op and my stomach looks like a battlefield. From the surgery to the heparin shots...just part of the journey.
