8 Weeks Post Lift Incision Not Healing?

    At 8 weeks, scabs indicative for wound healing issues should be managed conservatively.  Most of these wounds will contract and heal well over time.  Kenneth Hughes, MD HughesPlasticSurgery Los Angeles, CA

These areas of delayed healing will usually eventually heal up just fine.  It is important in most cases that these crusts be removed as soon as possible, allowing the skin underneath to heal up properly.

A photograph of the non-healing area would be helpful. Nonetheless, I would make sure your surgeon has taken a culture swabbing of the oozing to see which antibiotics are sensitive to any growing organisms. A persistent infection that is not being adequately treated can cause a non-healing wound to persist. Additionally, I would consider having your surgein debride the wound by removing the scab followed with dressing changes to facilitate the surrounding tissues to heal as any infection resolves with treatment.
