How can I heal necrosis after my tummy tuck?

nybutterfly14
I started to get nercosis after tummy tuck I had on sept 24th. ( what I think is nercosis) It is getting worse and the gauze pads now are a greenish color. I see the ps again today, previously they said it needs to heal..but its not healing at all..please give me some advice of what to do and what will happen ? Will I need another surgery to fix this, I am very concerned as it is making a hole ! Thankyou
