Thanks for your inquiry and sorry for your struggles. Wounds do occur after surgery and it is probably best you left it heal slowly from inside like your surgeon has advised. If at one year, you are unhappy with the scar, you can get a scar revision. Good Luck.
Seems like it's the same question that has been answered . Please, refer to previous answers..........................
I am sorry to hear about the complication you are experiencing. These types of complications can be quite distressing to patients; unfortunately, sometimes the wounds do look worse before they begin to look better.Close follow up with your plastic surgeon will be in your best interests; sometimes removal of a exposed suture and/or removal of any unhealthy tissue will expedite healing. Wound care regimens will differ from one plastic surgeon to another. Generally, this will involve application of some type of sterile dressing ( in my practice I use a non-stick dressing covered by a sterile dressing). You should have peace of mind that these types of wound healing problems generally go on to heal over the course of the next several weeks, often without long-term sequelae. Also important to concentrate on a healthy diet, including good protein source. Sometimes (depending on the width of the open wound and the appearance of the scar in the longer term), scar revision surgery may be helpful down the line. Best wishes.
Thank you for your question.Yes the wound will close by itself. I would agree with your ps to continue wet to dry dressing and allowing it to heal from the inside out. You might need some sharp debridement of your wound to expedite the healing process. Your ps has you on the right tract, and after it has healed if you wand you can have a scar revision in that small area.Thank you.
Yes, your wound will heal with time without being stitched up again. It will take a little longer to heal but it will get there. Continue to follow up with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for wound care instructions. Best wishes
The dehiscence you have may heal in by what's called "secondary intention" using wound care techniques; however, there will be a widened scar. Dehiscence happens because of either excess tension on the wound, infection, or poor nutrition. Make sure you are eating lots of protein, minimize tension on the area, and keep in close contact with your surgeon. Hoping you heal beautifully from this.
It is unfortunate that you have this complication after your procedure, I have found that removal of all dead tissue, and sutures , and continue with local wound care will ultimately enhance healing. The scar can be revised at a later stage to improve results. Follow up with your surgeon and be patient.Norman Morrison MD
Pre-operative photos would be helpful in evaluating this condition. Also, past medical history and medications if any- would be helpful. Redness can be a sign of both healing and early infection. The incision around the umbilicus is somewhat troubling. I would seriously consider a second opinion...
Hi and thanks for posting your question and photos on RealSelf!Based on the photos you posted, you appear to have extra skin on your abdomen and some excess tissue in the waistline area. Your best result would probably come with a combination tummy tuck and liposuction of the waist and hip areas...

You can and should keep your airway open and lungs fully expanded by coughing after your operation. Ask your doctor to show you how to splint your abdominal wall by hugging a pillow against it and coughing into it to alleviate discomfort.
Hello dear, thanks for important question.Liposuction and Tummy Tucks ARE routinely done at the same time, BUT certain considerations apply. There are 2 reasons WHY this is even an issue: 1. Blood Supply injury - The tummy skin has 3 major sources of oxygen providing arterial blood supply. From...
In 45 minutes under local, one could aspirate and determine if there is a seroma. The treatment of the seroma would depend on how big it is, if it recurs, if it has reformed a bursa. Question is how long has the swelling been present. If it just occurred, it would likely be a seroma. If it...
