How long for incisions to heal?



Recommended Posts

How long did it take for your incisions to heal? I am two weeks out and so far only the smallest incision has completely lost its scab. My abdomen is also has purple freckles from all of the heparin shots. I hope this is all cleared up within the next month or so.

They can hang around for a while,,, the last one to heal up was about a month and that was the biggest one to the left where the stomach was removed. Same with the "freckles" they took about a month. I still have dark discoloration around the big left incision at 3 months.

Well about 6 weeks for "technically" healed, but the incisions will remain red and slightly raised for a year or better.
