Fat Necrosis After Tummy Tuck What to Do? Update (photo)

Sue1948
Thank you for the answers to a question about fat necrosis after TT I posted 15 days ago. Now I am worry again. My PS cut part of a scar making one big wound instead 2 smaller; cleaned the wound with instruments, and told me to wet a gauze with tap water and pack a wound twice a day. A couple of days ago I noticed bad odor from a would. I have no fever or pain. Is it a new complication or a normal step in treatment? Previous Question
