Question

Had stitches removed 3 weeks after lipo. Will deep infected dent/hole underneath scab close up after healing completely? Please help! Thank you,

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

Most liposuction incisions don't even require sutures. It looks as though there has been some significant damage to the skin possibly thermal because of use of ultrasound or laser. With good wound care the should close spontaneously.

Paul Silverstein, MD (retired) · Answer

Usually this small an incision will close by itself by wound contraction.  You must keep it clean and wash daily with an antibacterial soap,apply triple antibiotic ointment and a band aid. stop the antibiotic ointment after one week, because some people become allergic and develop a rash from it, if used longer.
