If All Around my Lower Incision is Turning Black and Oozy is That Normal? (photo)

July 9, 2012

I have a 2'' x 3'' area at the lowest spot of my incision from my tummy tuck turning black and in the line of the incision about 6'' of it is also all black. It does not look like scabbing and seems to be spreading. Syrgon says its normal but im thinking its not. My tummy is really hard on either side of the incision about 2-3'' and i have alot of drainage coming from a small hole that did not close right by my pubic area. Does this sound like normal healing process?
