I had smartlipo 3 and a half weeks ago. One of my incision sites on my left hip is white with a reddish border. Is the white area a burn or is is just healing. I was told by my Dr if it did not heal he could punch it out and resuture it. Would this need to be addressed now or in the future? Thanks.
