I had a full Tummy tuck 3/25 Im healing really good except above my pubic area . When I visit my PS last Thursday he told me just put a bandage on but it looks moist open n yellow , I'm worried !!!
Answer: My tummy tuck scar above pubic area not healing well Thanks for the question and pic. It appears that you are healing the area after some breakdown. The area will eventually heal. Be patient and keep in close contact with your board certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck.

Answer: Wound healing relax it will be fine. you have a small area which given some local wound care will heal. I personally see people weekly if this happens, take away what is not healthy and use some type of topical ointment good luck

Answer: Scar above pubic area Not to worry. No matter what you do this area will heal. If the scar is thickened after it heals it will be easy to revise in the office. However, in order to facilitate healing your surgeon may wish to cut away a small amount of that tissue, or do wet to dry dressings. Putting a moist gauze on the area, letting it dry, and then removing it at the end of the day helps remove dead tissue as it will stick to the gauze. These are just a couple of many wound care options. Of course, it is always best to listen to what your surgeon feels works best. As I said before, it will likely heal fine no matter what you do. Just keep it clean and be patient.

Answer: Wound dehiscence There is some wound dehiscence which will require local wound care for it to heal. The healing will occur over many months. Go back for another visit, this requires attention.
