Asked By:Nellywelly718 in Corona, NY

I had a tummy tuck and an arm lift 12 days ago. 2 nights ago i was changing my arm dressing and noticed that I had an opening in both arms in the armpit area. I asked my doctor he didn't seem too concerned just told me to keep it clean and to use these gauzes that he gave me. But rushed me off the phone. I'm not sure what to do. Should I go to the hospital and get it checked out?v
