Sorry I don't have an answer about the scar I am only 1 week out, but keep it dry and clean.

Mine did the same thing. The scar is a line with a dime sized circle in the middle I didn't go to a doctor for it though, just kept is clean and it took about a month to heal. There were no signs of infection.

i had surgery on the 6th and one of my open i was wondering the same thing if my scar will look bad

My drain incision was a gaping hole and it looked like it needed t least a butterfly strip, but I just let it heal and it's great.

You should go to a pharmacy and buy Steristrips to close the hole back up if it is gaping open that much. That will keep the edges together.

I had surgery the 6th too I just called the doctors answering service and the nurse said he will call me back ugh

[twitch4thebitch 23]

Doctor just called and said its all good just keep it covered with a bandaid an it will heal from the inside out and not to be worried

I was going to write what your doctor says. When we have a puncture wound in fat there is no "muscle" to hold together. It is common for them to open up but they will heal from the inside out (known as granulating). Just keep dry and covered loosely esp at waist area. Linda

I agree but i think you should flush it with hydrogen peroxide wait for it to dry and then put the strips. My biggest scar opened a lil and i did that and two days later it healed. I hope it gets better soon.

How long did it take,? My drain was removed sat

We are fortunate we have to eat Protein, which is a healer. They should close fully in about 2 weeks.
