About 6 inches in the middle of my tummy tuck incision is not well approximated and has white areas in between? I had surgery on March 5 and have had my incision drained of blood in office for 480 cc last week and 340 cc this week. I did not have drains put in after surgery. I was prescribed duricef po and just finished that and told to wash incision with beta dine and apply gentamycin cream to incision. Any advice on getting oxygen to incision , special bandages, keeping incision open to air?
