I have a hole on my tummy tuck line that won't close. It will scab over but then the scab falls off and I'm back to square one again. I've also tried covering it with ointment and a bandage but it doesn't seem to get better. What should I do?
Answer: Wound Thank you for your question.The wound looks superficial and clean. Local wound care should allow this to heal over several weeks. I recommend speaking to your plastic surgeon on what he recommends. Best of luck with your recovery.

Answer: Wound From the photo provided it looks like a spitting suture that has not come to the surface yet and the would keeps opening because of that. I would see your surgeon and see what the best recommendation would be. You may have to have a small procedure to remove the suture and be closed. Good luck!
