Is yellow skin at 2 weeks post op normal healing? (Photos)

Asked By:TinaJ1976

Hi, I am almost 2 weeks post op and have been doing great. I am applying Vaseline twice a day as instructed by my PS and changing my dressing daily. Of course I am wearing my binder around the clock, except for showers and dressing changes. I have been sleeping on my sides (carefully) with pillows, as approved by my surgeon. I am not walking completely straight, but move around fairly easily. This morning I noticed that my skin is a little yellow. Is this normal healing?
