What can make necrosis after tummy tuck heal faster?

They heal slowly: Skin necrosis after tummy tucks (witch hazel) can take long to heal because the skin is receiving less blood due to the lifting and stretching your surgeon did. Wound care is very important. Negative pressure wound therapy (wound vac) can be very helpful for large areas and accelerate the contracture of the wound. Creams and medications have not been proven to be beneficial in the absence of infection.

Takes time: Keep the wound clean and free of infection. Your surgeon can instruct you on wound care. A vac might speed the process if the wound is large.

Necrosis: Necrosis after a tummy tuck is a very unfortunate problem and the treatment depends on the cause and size of the area. Follow your surgeon's advice. You may need debridement, vac therapy hyperbaric oxygen, regenerative matrix, and some time.

Many Factors...: As you can imagine, every patient's situation will differ. Basic principles include: keeping the area clear of infection, removing any foreign bodies such as suture material, optimizing nutritional status etc. Dressing changes or the use of a vacuum device may be indicated. Generally speaking, time and patience, area a patient's best friends during this difficult time. Best wishes.
