No wound infection: The most common problem related to any surgical wound is a wound infection. This will typically manifest itself 1-2 weeks after surgery; signs include pain, redness, swelling, and drainage of pus. Rx involves opening the wound to allow it to heal "from-the-inside-out" and daily local wound care.

Appearance: The skin should be nicely aligned and approximated after the incisions are closed. They should stay clean and there should be very little pigment change or pinkish tint to the tissue around the incisions. If the incisions are turning red, are becoming more painful, or if there is discharge then see your doctor.
