Tummy tuck open wound: no compression or binder for 8 weeks, no scar treatment yet for incisions. Does this sound right? (Photo)

I had a tummy tuck, lipo on my sides, flanks. bra roll 8 weeks ago. In the first week I developed a scab and open wound at lowest point of incision, mid pelvis. At its largest it was 5-6 inches wide, 3-4 high, now 2.5 inches wide and 2 high. My dr said stop wearing binder and no compression. I come in 2x week for xeroform and bandage. He says I have no other options and too soon for silicone for scars but vitamin E oil is ok. Not sure I trust his judgment at this point on treatment or results
