Unhealed necrosis at Tummy Tuck incision. Is it going to continue to get larger? (photo)
FNP_2015Nov 8, 2013
I am now 4 weeks post op and what started as a small hematoma at my TT incision line has now turned into a 2 inch by 1inch necrotic wound. I have been using silvadene since the first sign of broken skin, but the wound just continues to get larger . I now can see a hole tunneling and stitches showing. I don't know what else to do to fix this problem. I clean the area twice daily as well as keep it covered at all times. Is it going to continue to get larger?
