Asked By:angybustillo in Lawndale, CA

I am 3 1/2 weeks post op tummy tuck and my incision by the pubic area has not closed . My doctor used nylon stitches to re suture the wound and 4 days later one of the stitches came off and once again the wound is open I am worried and frustrated, why is this happening ? I attached a photo of the wound, does it look like a healthy wound? Is it healing?
