TT Incision Opening? (photo)
I had a TT & Lipo on 11/2 , drain removed 11/12, seroma aspirated 50cc on 11/16 and my incision opened on 11/15. PS said keep it clean and place gauze over it. I am really worried!

Tummy Tuck and Lipo with Incision Opening
Tummy Tuck incisions sometimes need to be opened and allowed to heal from the inside out, particularly in cases of recurrent seroma or wound infection. These openings usually contract, and the scar can end up very good despite the early issues.

Incision Line Healing Problem after Tummy Tuck?
Although some anxiety is to be expected, the superficial incision line healing problems that are experiencing are not infrequently seen after tummy tuck surgery. The vast majority of patients go on to heal without long-term sequelae and without detracting from the final results aesthetically.
Keep in mind that (often) several aspirations of a seroma may be necessary.
Continue to keep close follow-up with your plastic surgeon.
Best wishes.

Based on the picture, this looks like a very minor wound separation and should heal without a problem. Follow your surgeons advice.
