2 weeks post op Tummy Tuck, open wound and discoloration (lack of blood supply). Any suggestion? (photos)

jmake
Will this discoloration (bruise looking go away?) and the open wound? Any advice is appreciated. I do hold my PS in high regards but I also want to get some more insight. My PS has me using Santyl ointment 2x day and gauze pad for wound care and to open the compression garment in order to get more blood supply to the area. Anything else?? I am getting worried about my complication as it looks horrible and doesn't see to be getting better in color. How long till I see results? Is the color norm. I'm non-smoker, great health.
