Tummy Tuck Skin Necrosis Healing Process. (photos)

December 25, 2014
Asked By:Kealiani73 in Oxnard, CA

I just had a TT 3 weeks ago and quickly attained skin necrosis. My PS has been checking it each week but as the time goes by the skin continues to harden and cause more pain, what can I expect in the coming weeks? My PS said he will be using a VAC to aid in the healing but did not go into detail about a time frame. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated!
