Asked By:jr_leggett2001 in Cypress, TX

My wife had plastic surgery done on March 24, 2015. she called me on April 8, 2015 and said her incision opened and was gushing out fluid yellow in color. She immediately called the surgeon and spoke his colleague. She was in his care for two months and he packed it once a week and cleaned wound. It continued to get worse so the surgeon recommended to do an outpatient surgery on the wound to clean it out. The hole was still present at this time. She then started to see a wound care clinic.
