Two of the holes opened up around 3 weeks post op and have slowly been healing but last week at 8 weeks post op another opened up. The skin over it was so thin and the PS pushed on it and blood came squirting out. Now I have a new hole to deal with? Please tell me these will heal up. I feel like I made a mistake having this surgery! These holes are all on the right side of my incision area. The left of my incision area seems to look perfect. I don't get why this has happened to me.
Im 6wks post-op from my TT. Everything was looking and healing fine at 4wks. 5wks a small area along my TT incision appeared to open but it wasnt a concern. Then at 6wks dramatically changed. I emailed my PS with some pics and he said it was something to do with a dissolving stitch. To apply polysporin twice a day and bandage it. Since Sunday it has become even larger. My question is this typically something that get worse before it gets better?
One year since tummy tuck. I have a few nodules in my upper stomach near bellybutton. I dont know if its scar tissue or the dissolvable sutures that didnt dissolve. As I had problems on my incision with them not dissolving and had open wound for months. Had to have a wound vac on for 2 months. Should I go get a ct scan to be sure?
Surgeon said leave alone. I have six spit stitches from closed incisions that have opened and the large one never closed and a stitch surfaced. He said theres no infection but theres pain inside. Im using medical grade manuka over it once per day after cleaning with sterile tools and applying gauze but whats happening?! Im mortified!!!
Tummy tuck post OP 5 weeks I have a seroma found by a ct scan and now have a open wound this morning a small wound opened and started draining it looks like puss my bigger wound hurts is draining a lot I change it 3-4times a day with a thick pad I'm so frustrated my surgeon says it not infected but it sticks I been packing the big one with gauze a big pad and tape
My incision opened up around 3 weeks and it has not fully healed. I thought it was closed back up but tonight it popped back open and leaked tons of yellow, oily fluid with a little bit of blood. What is going on? I went to my doctor when I first noticed it opened up, and they told me to do local wound care and that it was probably a stitch spitting out. But it hasnt seemed to fully heal. The size of the opening is about 1-1.5 cm. I dont notice any pus, smell, or hotness.
TT on 4/4/19 my incision opened in the center about 2 wks later. Ive been going to wound care and using wound vac for past 3 wks. The wound dr says I have one more wk on vac and hopefully it will be healed. The problem is the wound bed did not raise up & has healed as what he called a divot. Said it will just look like a 2nd BB which I dont want! Can it be revised to match the rest of the scar and not be a hole or I am just stuck with it? Advice please!!
First question Is this semi open wound should be white? Or even open? What do I do to care for it ? Second question I have a bump that is very tender witch they say I need few treatments of ultrasound therapy messages for it to go away. HELP! any advice is greatly appreciated.
