Do you have suggestions for the opening of incision after a LBL?

Dear Practical5751, Thank you your question. Congratulations on your surgery. Unfortunately, it is very common to have wound healing issues in areas with a lot of tension.The good news is that you should heal with time with local wound care. I would also increase your protein intake to help with wound healing. Continue to communicate with your plastic surgeon. Good luck, Dr. Suzette Miranda Board Certified Plastic Surgeon 

Hello and thanks for your question.  This is a common area for minor wound breakdown after a lower body lift.  Make sure that you are not applying pressure to this area.
Although wounds such as these typically heal quickly, wet-to-dry dressings may cause the underlying healthy tissue to dry out, and may cause pain and bleeding with dressing changes.  They are not typically recommended by wound care experts.
Maintaining a moist wound environment with alginate and a foam dressing (with a gentle adhesive to avoid trauma to the skin caused by tape) may be preferable. You may want to ask your surgeon about referral to a wound care center.
