Asked By:scrappapod

Hi I’m just looking for your excellent professional opinions. I’m 36, no kids 5ft 7 51kg. 4 weeks post op anchor lift no implant. After 2 daysI lost skin at the vertical incision, my PS removed stitches at the 2 week mark and the skin split further. There has been no infection and 2 days ago she removed the dead skin. She is happy at new skin is forming and I cover the area in Vaseline and gauze 2x daily. I’m worried about this affecting the final shape and lift.
