My tummy tuck incision is spitting stitches. What should I do? (Photo)

Asked By:Ladydi0309 in Miami, FL

My doctor does not seem very concerned about it. I have consulted multiple times and have just been told I am spitting stitches. He does not plan an intervention or debridement. Area does not seem to be closing and I am very concerned. I am 18 days post surgery. What should I do?
