I had an abdominoplasty on September 27. The area around my outer hips is healing well. But the spot right above the pubic area has turned dark red and two days ago, the skin started to separate and opens about a quarter inch. My doctor says this is just eschar or escar and that it's normal. To me it looks horrible, like my tummy is starting to open up. I am worried about this but he is not. Have you heard of this before? And do you think this could get worse?

I HAD THE SAME SURGERY ON AUGUST 3, 2006 AD THE SIMILAR THING HAPPENED TO ME. ONE SIDE LOOKS WONDERFUL BUT THE OTHER SIDE WAS ANOTHER QUESTION. MY DOCTOR SAIED THESAME THING. FORTUNATELY AFTER APPLYING NEOSPORIN 2 TIMES A DAY FOR 7 DAYS IT IMPROVED. NOW 2 MONTHS A LOT OF THE REDNESS WENT AWAY, THE WOUNDS CLOSED UP AND IT STARTS LOOKING BETTER. i KNOW HOW YOU FEEL I WAS VERY UPSET. THEY CALLED IT DELAY HALING IN MY CASE
