Necrosis after tummy tuck (photos)

I am sorry to hear about the complication you have experienced.  These types of superficial separations can occur, and sometimes may “look worse, before it looks better”. In my opinion, the most important “factor” involved  with successful treatment of the complication will be close follow-up with your plastic surgeon. He/she will be in the best position to monitor situation carefully. Infections should be ruled out and “foreign bodies” such as sutures that may prevent quick healing may be removed.   The open wound  should go on to heal over the course of the next several weeks,  hopefully without long-term sequelae. Also, concentrate on a well-balanced ( good protein source) diet.  Best wishes.

It's common to have some open areas after a tummy tuck and as long as you're following up closely with your plastic surgeon you should heal well.

Hello,Although admirable, saline dressing changes only help when the dead tissue is removed first. Now that you have had this done, you will see the necessary changes to the wound that will allow it to heal.  It should start looking pink to red, and granular.  It will bleed easily because it is filled with capillaries to promote wound healing. Stay close to your surgeon, as he may need to remove a little more if there is any dead tissue still there.You should expect this to heal in about 6 to 8 weeks and look like a thickened scar which can be revised in the future.
