Another vote here for it looks fine. If it's infected, you'd have yellow or white looking puss oozing, or if clear or cloudy fluid leaks from the wound to the point that it saturates any dressing you put on it, that would be a big sign of an infection. I see none of that in your picture. You can expect your wound to be red for at least six months after surgery--probably longer. You can start applying mederma or some other scar gel on the wound in a month, which will help with the redness and reduce the appearance of scaring.

Yours looks just like a normally heali,g wound with staples, look up Lusty Draconian Maid's , now HER'S doesn't look like it's healing very well and has got infected.
And when they take your staples out it might sting and hurt, but when mine were removed from my right knee, maybe it was because of static electricity but I felt a little electric jolt as each pinged open and off! Anybody else ever have that?
