After having three kids I'm 32 years old I though it was time for it to be about me and I love the results but can't enjoy it due to healing issues.

Great review?

There are many reasons for delayed healing. if the wound is not healing in the midline and the skin has died then it needs cleaning and let it heal by itself. it takes about six weeks to heal. six months later you can revise the scar. Other causes of delayed healing is medications, sternous activity, too tight of a closure
