I'm exactly a month post op tummy tuck. Naval and TT incision were closed. Last night before I went to bed, noticed mild redness just below the naval. Woke up at 230 and noticed a small hole about 3 mm circumference (where redness was) that had dried blood with some web like strings across the belly button. Its oozing mild blood today and hole has redness around it. No odor, no fever/chills. what causes this hole a month after tummy tuck? how long will it take to close? will it close on its own?
