If you abdomen in round and full. Then that is a sign of visceral fat (fat around your organs). The skin and fat of the lower abdomen that you can pinch is the fat that can removed with a tummy tuck. Everyone carries weight/fat differently. Weight loss is the only way to reduce visceral fat...
In general, a wound of the size you are showing will take about 6 - 8 weeks to heal with a Wound VAC. It would take about 10 - 12 weeks with W - Dry dressing. Also, increasing protein intake, a balanced and high caloric intake,and no infection will speed things up considerably.
