Tummy Tuck Not Healing? (photo)

November 30, 2012
Asked By:Loveable Leatherhead in Leatherhead

5 weeks post op and my incision has opened up and re stitched 4 times now. 3 times in clinic and once again under general anesthetic and again it has opened. I do no not smoke and and am 26 and healthy. I am in weekly contact with my surgeon and he wants to stitch all the time that is so painful. I currently have nylon stitches in that seem to be tearing through my skin, I'm guessing there is to much tension. I have 2 year old twins and need to know what is my best option for healing ASAP.
