Black dot / hole on incision line 3 weeks after donut lift (Photo)

February 6, 2016
Asked By:tkilove in Houston, TX

After about 4 weeks post op this black dot appeared on my incision line and has been there now for several weeks which oozed out black today and left a hole. I moved out of state and can't get to my surgeon. Just for the record I didn't have any stitches removed because I had dissolvable stitches. Can someone tell me if I should be concerned enough to book a flight back to my doctor? Or is this something that will go away on its own?
