i had liposuction and a tummy tuck and the incision is splitting apart and getting more and more red. is this normal? my surgeon said it was but when i went to a doctor for a second opinion he said it wasn't but he couldn't do anything about it becuase he was not my surgeon. i don't know what to do or think.

Answer: Open wound followng tummy tuck Smokers are definitely more prone to this problem. If the wound is open, you should be performing some form of wound care. A separation of 1-3 mm may be of little concern whereas a 1 cm opening is a different matter and may require more agressive treatment.
