Why does my Tummy Tuck incision keep opening 6 weeks post-op? (photo)

Asked By:JAndrade in Placentia, CA

It's been 6 weeks and 3 days since my tummy tuck. At 3 weeks the middle of my stomach opened up and I had dead tissue which at 4 weeks post op I underwent corrective surgery. It's been 2 weeks since that area was corrected along with 2 other areas and now a different area has opened? What can I do to prevent the opening from getting bigger and hopefully heal?
