My lipo incision is not closing? (Photo)

Asked By:oilshaman in Nyack, NY

I got smart lipo 4 weeks ago. The incision "hole" is not closing. Is that normal? Photo attached. Its a holiday weekend so can't get in touch w surgeon for a few days. Does it need to be re-stitched? I believe it is infected, and have been using anti-biotic ointment w/ bandaids to cover the hole.
