BBL and TT 4 weeks ago, how long will it take for my wound to close with a wound vac? (photos)

April 14, 2019
Asked By:Earlfleming01

I had a tummy tuck lipo & bbl procedure done 4 weeks ago. 2 weeks later I had a staph infection which was due to necrosis. My surgeon opened me back up and removed the infected area. I have been cleaning my wound daily & my surgeon has been cleaning it every 3 days. Now he is saying it is clean. There is no more smell & I am taking the proper antibiotics. My surgeon is saying we can go ahead & close the wound. Should we close?
