I am 2wks PO from my procedure. My sutures on one side have come out, leaving an opening. I was told the incision would heal in 3-4 days. In the interim, can I use steri strips to close my incision?

Answer: Tummy tuck incision Dear kuiipo, this type of wound separation can occur after tummy tuck. It is usually caused by increased tension in on incision site. I would suggest you to consult your plastic surgeon, follow your surgeon's instructions and keep your wound clean and covered. It can take few days or weeks for wound to fully heal.
