i had my TT and i have 2 openings in my incision (holes) i was wondering what are the signs that the wound is healing? does it heal from the inside out? or will the skin just tie itself back together? i noticed some white spots around and a little inside the wound..does that mean its healing? im already on antibiotics. thanks
Answer: Wound Healing It’s not unusual for patients to have small areas of wound separation following abdominoplasty surgery.When this occurs wounds heal by a process known as secondary intention. These wounds form a layer of granulation tissue which covers the base of the wound.Granulation tissue slowly grows and decreases the size of the wound.Once this occurs, new skin forms around the margins of the wound and migrates in an inward direction eventually closing the wound.While this is occurring, the wound is pulling its edges together to ultimately decrease the size of the scar.Occasionally, patients may need a scar revision once the wound healing is complete, but this is uncommon.Even when wounds breakdown and patients undergo a prolonged period of wound healing, they still report high satisfaction rates following abdominoplasty.

Answer: Healing wound
The white spots in your incision may be fibrin and protein clots. If there is an opening you're going to need to pack the hole with a moist sterile gauze and change it a few times a day. A PS should take a look at it, preferably the one that did your TT.

Answer: Wound healing after TT
It is hard to say without seeing your photos; I would recommend seeing your operating surgeon for his/her advise.

Answer: Wound Healing
Without pictures or seeing you in person, it is very difficult to give you any advice or recommendations. However, basic signs of wound healing are contraction of the tissue (moving together), decreased induration (swelling/reaction), absence of infection (odor/discharge/warmth), improved appearance, etc. If you have any concerns, you should see your surgeon for evaluation.
Good Luck.
