I had a tummy tuck and lipo done about 3weeks ago and it took two weeks for the drains to be removed and I also had a black scar almost like a burn that the Dr said he want to watch closely.On the day the drains were removed I ended up with wound vac and a 2" deep 4"long and 4" wide hole not to mention now it seem that a small section near the hold is very soft to touch,as if I poke it,it will burst. I was told the area where the hold is was an Infection and the tissue had died and it all had to be removed to heal I was also told it now seems to be no sign of infection and that the wound vac help the healing process much faster I'm so sad and upset and a strong depression has come on not sure if it was worth it as of yet if this can heal properly and fast I would say it was worth it but as of now feel a Little regret

Sorry to hear your predicament! How were you taught to take care of things? My dr is having me wash with a medical antiseptic soap for a week beforehand and also start antibiotics before the surgery. I am so worried about infection also!
I did all the same and I still develop an infection but everyone is different so don't worry you'll be fine
What dr did u go to? I'm also in New Orleans
