Answer: See your surgeon At this point in your recovery, there shouldn't be any fluid draining out of you, not to mention holes along your incision line. Please see your surgeon for any assessment.

Answer: Healing It's not typical to have three infections after a tummy tuck. The small "holes" that you mentioned may be suture abscesses. Your surgeon should be able to address them in the office. Once the suture material is removed they tend to heal well with minimal home care. It does appear your scars are hypertrophic. They can be revised if desired about a year after surgery.
