need advice from a physician or nurse....?

I just had cosmetic surgery done a tummy tuck and lipo. The concern that I have a part of my wound didn't heal correctly and they had to cut part of it open and they are packing guaze inside so it can heal from inside out. Is this normal? If it is how long does it take to heal?

Yes, this is the normal procedure when a wound does not heal properly. It will take a long time...anywhere from 8 weeks to 8 months. The amount of time really depends on how long the opening is and how fast of a healer you are which is why I can't narrow it down any better for you. Good luck!
