Why Will my Tummy Tuck Incision Not Heal Up? 8 Weeks Post Op and Frustrated.

User Avatar

I am 8 weeks postop from a TT and I had two places where the incision line opened up on my right side. I was told to do wet to dry packing and my PS removed a couple of sutures coming out through it. Well those two places have fianlly started closing up but it is slooooow! Last week I noticed another area and my PS poked through it and blood came gushing out. I guess it needed to come out but now there is another hole that needs to close up. Why is this happening and will I continue to have these holes?
