I had smart-lipo 20 days ago on my ab area, flanks, waist & thighs. The cannula holes on some parts of my body have healed and closed.Others, primarily all the incisions on my flanks, waist and one on my abdomen seem to be healing MUCH slower and I can see what appears to be a closed hole? If that makes sense... there’s no drainage, and there’s some tenderness but no pain. I will be calling my PS today but just wanted to get some thoughts and possibly the correct questions to ask him. Thank you.
