I'm 19days post op & so far everything has been great! I feel really good and I'm super happy with my stomach. Btw, I had full tt with muscle repair and lipo of the hips. This morning as I was changing my tape I noticed the part of my incision directly in the middle, it looks a little different. Should I be concerned?

Answer: Tummy tuck wound Thanks for your inquiry, you do seem to have had a scab fall off with a small wound. This is common and should not affect the long term result. Please discuss with your plastic surgeon, good luck.

Answer: Incision opening or just part of the scab falling off? appears as a slight skin dehiscence that needs to be cared for by your surgeon, sooner than later.......

Answer: Abdominoplasty 3 Weeks Post Op, Scab Falling Off Or Wound Separation? Kudos to you for picking an obviously talented plastic surgeon. The photograph you sent shows a well done belly button and a healing abdominoplasty incision with what appears to be scabs falling off.I see no signs of wound separation. Of course, an in person exam would be useful but I wouldn't worry at this point. See your plastic surgeon on your regularly scheduled visit.

Answer: Incision opening or just part of the scab falling off? Congratulations on having undergone the tummy tuck surgery; overall, it seems like you have done very well. Yes, superficial incision line separation and/or wound healing problems may occur after tummy tuck (or any other type of plastic surgical procedure). Generally, patients with these types of separations do well, without long-term negative sequelae. In other words, despite this incision line separation, you should go on to have a very nice outcome. I would suggest that you continue close follow-up with your plastic surgeon who'll be your best resource for advice and treatment recommendations. In the meantime keep the area clean/covered with a sterile dressing. Best wishes.
