Will my wound still close if it is this big? Do i need a skin graft? 3 weeks post TT. (photos)

Dear joanav.,this type of wound is not uncommon after tummy tuck although this might be more extreme than usual. It is usually caused by poor blood flow. I would suggest you to consult your plastic surgeon, follow your surgeon's instructions and keep your wound clean and covered. It can take few weeks or months for wound to fully heal. In most cases, this type of wounds gets worse before it gets better. Daniel Barrett, MD

Hello,Your surgeon needs to debride the remaining necrotic tissue to allow full healing and closure. Unfortunately, the lever of necrosis runs above your belly button, which will lead to its deformation as things contract. There should be no white or black tissue in your wound by now, so get your surgeon to debride it or find another surgeon. Best of luck!
