Non healing tummy tuck scab? (photos)

October 22, 2023
Asked By:janethenurse in Miami, Florida

I had a tummy tuck two years ago, it seems to have healed completely, however I have a small round scab that will seem to be healing then open up again. It has been doing that on and off for the duration of my post op. I have contacted the surgeon and he seems unsure, help??!!
