I had full TT with umbilical and ventral hernia repair and muscle tightening 16 days ago, the staples have been removed. I noticed that the upper part of the scar kind of overlaps and also looks bulkier that the lower part. the cut is kind of open from the center but gets better toward the sides, there still liquid coming out but not too much my surgeon didn't put any drainages I used to have hourglass shape however after the surgery it looks different, is it normal? Is the scar going to close completely?
