spitting stitches and delayed wound healing post Tummy Tuck. (photos)

Looks like you and your plastic surgeon are doing the right things.  Spitting stitches is not uncommonin all surgery when sutures are used close to the surface of the  skin.  Remember all sutures are foreign bodies, even dissolvable ones.  It's always a race between the body dissolving them or trying to get rid of them.  It's an annoying fact of surgery.  Just stay in touch with your plastic surgeon and follow his directions.  

Thanks for your inquiry, excellent pictures, and sorry for your struggles.  You seem to be taking very good care of your wounds.  I recommend you see your plastic surgeon regularly to monitor your progress and address sutures that spit.  In general, these issues resolve and make sure you discuss scar management with your surgeon.

Thanks for your question and photos. I am sorry to hear about your problem. From what I can see, it looks like your surgeon used an absorbable stapler (Insorb) to close the dermal part of your skin.  They do take awhile to dissolve and occasionally will spit.  It is not that uncommon to have some slow ares of delayed healing, particularly along the middle of the incision where the tension is highest.  The risk of this problem is higher in obese patients, smokers, and more aggressive procedures.  It sounds like you are doing everything right.  Eventually these areas will heal, although the scar may be a little more wide, flat, or discolored.  You can always have a delayed scar revision in the future. Try to be patient and listen to your surgeon's instructions.  Good luck.
