Smart Lipo entry point healing

Your entry site does not look infected. it is just a little bigger than typical, probably because that port was used a lot and the skin around it irritated as a result. It should heal without problems but watch for signs of infection which would be warmth, redness, and pus.

At this point without any signs of infection, you need to wait Often these scars contract and look good. If not your scar can easily be revised

Smart Lipo - incision

If that is your incision site, well it's not perfect. Some surgeons do not stitch the entry site and instead rely on a steristrip or on a skin glue to do the job. I prefer a skin glue or stitches that are removed a few days after the surgery to prevent my entry points from popping open. Fortunately it will heal fine however you may need scar revision if your scar is too wide for your preference. Best Wishes!!
