Looks a little infected. You may want to call your doc.

Is that where your drain tube was? Mine did the same (almost). My PC gave me a prescription for Mupirocin ointment, changed the band-aid 3 times a day and it looked great on the second day.

No, this is just one of the incisions. All my other one are healing great, not sure why this one is nasty haha

I think it looks ok, but for scarring purposes, a triple antibiotic ointment and a bandaid for a few days (change twice daily) would be a good idea.

Was it sutured or covered with dermabond? Either way it seems to be gaping a little. Worth getting checked out.

Since this could be a portway to your insides, I would definitely go see your PCP at least.. Better safe than sorry... :)

It was sutured with disolvable stitches, ya its pretty opened, bu if I pinch it I can close It ..sorry gross haha

Mine looked like that for weeks, I just kept it clean and it finally closed and is gone now.

Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX

Mine looked the same till about 4 days ago I was sleeved 3/11 any way I just kept taking the antibiotics and applying polysporeing and its now looking better almost all closed up

Sent from my iPhone using VST

It looks infected to me cause of the redness

Mine looked like that too. In fact, they are just now starting to heal after weeks post op. The Dr told me to use peroxide for a few days and use neosporin. I did that and now am just keeping them clean with soap and water and using a small amount of steroid cream each day. Finally getting better and aren't as sore as they were initially. Call your Dr and check, but you'll be fine.
