It was almost all the way healed. Then started slowly opening up and the little white dissolvable stables kept popping out. I am on week 8 and this is my stomach today. Dr says it will heal fine and no need to resuture it. Is that true? It hurts incredibly bad deeper than just topically. Suggestions of how to proceed?

Answer: Tummy Tuck Wound Care Hello,It is true that re-suturing would be a bad idea and promote infection. At this point you need consistent wound care to keep the area clean and ensure that it heals well from the inside out. Continue to follow up with your Plastic Surgeon.All the best

Answer: When sutures are rejected and wounds separate, you can only do wound care until it resolves... and it will. And it will heal better than you could have ever imagined. Once healed, then you can discuss with your surgeon if any revisions could be of benefit to you. As difficult as it may be, focus on healing and wound care and you should have a happy ending.
