Need help with healing open Tummy Tuck incision. (photo)

Asked By:tbump in Dallas, TX

I had a tummy tuck on 9/23/14. Everything healed up perfectly, other than a small spot on both of my hip bones. One side opened up just a little, but the other is almost 2" long and 1/2" wide. My doctor told me to use Skintegrity Hydrogel on it, which I have been for almost 2 weeks. It looks better (not as red and puffy) but hasn't gotten any smaller. Doctor says he's satisfied with how it looks, but I'm starting to get a little worried. Any opinions on what will make this heal faster?
