I am currently 10 days out and these two things are my largest concerns. I have a wonderful PS but I don't want to bother them with my silly paranoia questions. So I'll bother you instead! Lol. Thanks in advance for your answers.

Answer: Blood clots and wound separation Dear shivaangel,in most cases blood clots occurs because of prolonged inactivity, so if you are moving a lot then you should be safe. Regarding the wound separation, in most cases it occurs in the first few weeks after the surgery. Once the wound is fully healed, there is smaller chance of separation. If you have any concerns, I would suggest you to discuss them with your plastic surgeon. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
