Is immediate bruising normal or could it be indicative of possible necrosis? (Photos)

Asked By:aimeeo6 in Redding, CA

I had full TT in Dec '17. Had abdominal fullness above incision that was revised today, under local, in office. Fat & skin removed from under the area outlined in the photo and small area of previous incision opened and reclosed. Is that immediate bruising normal or anything to worry about? Also, all over abdominal soreness- normal, even though it was only one area? I would ask my surgeon but it's the weekend. Thank you!
