I had a tummy tuck 3 weeks ago and have had nothing but healing issues. I have been on antibiotics since before the surgery, non-smoker, eat healthy, and am not a diabetic. I have another area that is on my left hip that is hurting like hell! This area almost appears to be like flesh is coming out of the area. It does not look like my suture line is open if that makes sense. I noticed this after surgery and was old it was where the ps pulled tight and "anchored" it?
