Hi I had a tummy tuck 8 days ago, I just looked at my scar and I am worries this looks like the beginning of skin necrosis? I am so scared and upset...My lower stomach is still so numb is that normal..? I have attached the photos. Thank you.
Answer: Mild Skin Necrosis after Tummy Tuck
It appears that you have mild skin necrosis after your tummy tuck. This could very well be superficial enough to not affect the overall scar appearance. Close followup with your plastic surgeon is necessary, along with conservative measures to minimize scar tension and irritation.
I wish you a safe recovery and wonderful result!!
