Tearing of sutures after an abdominoplasty is extremely unlikely. Nevertheless call your surgeon and report what you are experiencing.
It is unlikely that your sutures have ripped, however, to rule out any possible problem, I would recommend you contact your surgeon and let him/her know what you're experiencing. They may want to see you in the office to examine the area and make recommendations.
If your incision is closed don't worry about it.After 4 to 6 weeks you are free to do whatever.Before then stay low and no abdominal exercises etc.
I am uncertain as to what you mean by ripping sutures. But rather than beginning an interrogation on line, it would be best for you to call your surgeon and express your concern. The surgeon will decide if you need to be seen, or just reassured. All the best.
Hi zumomma. It is very unusual to have ripping sutures. Without any more information about your symptoms, it is hard to say anything else. If you are concerned, I suggest you see your plastic surgeon.
