Little Hole After Removing a Forgotten Stitch from Tummy Tuck. Will It Go Away?

In most instances this hole will disappear when the stitch is fully absorbed. In the case of permanent stitches, this may need to be removed first.

Small wound separations can occur after large body contouring operations and almost always heal. If the separation was due to a suture poking through the skin, then it will almost certainly close up once the suture has been removed. Smoking will delay wound healing, so remember not to smoke. You may want to add some Vitamin C to your diet to help facilitate healing.
