notworthit
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.
