Hello I am all most two weeks post op from lipo and full tummy tuck and I was curious if it's healing properly. (Images included) I am afraid of infections and nercrosis so I take care of it and follow post op instructions to the best of my ability. Also at what point in time am I out of the woods for necrosis and wound infections? Thank you. :)
