Answer: Wound separation after tummy tuck Thank you for the question and photos. It is difficult to answer your question without examining you however from reviewing your photos you may benefit from applying a wound VAC. This may help expedite the closure. It is best to discuss that with your board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Tummy tuck incision Dear robbinrobinson,this type of wound is not uncommon after tummy tuck. It is usually caused by poor blood flow. I would suggest you to consult your plastic surgeon, follow your surgeon's instructions and keep your wound clean and covered. It can take few weeks or months for wound to fully heal.
