I'm sorry to hear about your concerns after tummy tuck surgery. The dark area is an area of tissue that is experiencing decreased blood flow (necrosis). It is hard to know whether the process involves superficial and/or deeper tissues. Having said that, based on the photographs, I think I see pink tissue below the superficial darkness; my best assessment is that the process will be superficial (partial thickness skin) in your case and you may be pleasantly surprised how good the earlier looks about two months from now. Keep in mind however that area of compromised tissue 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 (or seek to follow with another surgeon in your area). He/she will be able to monitor for signs of infection and decide whether or not removal of unhealthy tissue and/or removal of exposed sutures is indicated. It is perfectly fine to leave the dry/dark tissue alone to "demarcate". You will likely find that it will come off on its own and that you may or may not have an open wound present. If so Dressing changes may be necessary for a period of time. The open wound should go on to heal over the course of several weeks, hopefully without long-term sequelae. However, sometimes, depending on the final appearance of the scar, scar revision surgery may be helpful. Also, concentrate on a well-balanced ( good protein source) diet and avoid nicotine in all its forms. Best wishes.
