incision question

I'm 23 days post op and the 3 inch incision on my left side still isn't closed. Do used the glue and all are closed but that one and the other 3 inch on near my belly button is half healed. There is no infection but it being on my ribs makes it flex and seems like it will never close... any advice, anyone else with this issue. ..

I would check with your surgeon. They may need to pack it or it may just need to stay dry and open to air. Only they can tell you. Good luck.

At 23 days, all my incisions were completely closed and healed. However, when I had my c-section, I had a two inch end that remained open. It was explained to me that it had to heal from the inside out. I kept it very clean and used neosporin. It was sore for a long time.
