I visited my surgeon this past week and he removed some fluid from the area. asked me whether I had talked to the plastic surgeon yet; I haven't ( I just figured I would wait until I got closer to the end of treatment).
After about two months of having to be careful with the area while showering, it is such a pleasure to be able to take a nice hot shower and not have to worry about washing off stickers or having skin peeling (which really didn't happen).
