How long for incisions to be completely closed/healed?
I am 3 weeks out and my glue is just not starting to fall off. Everything seems fine. Both my post op appointments got the OK on my incisions. They bother me a little because my pants rub them when I sit down. Otherwise, I think they heal when the scab falls off and they look like a scar. I am pretty sure it is different for everyone but it sounds like you are doing fine.
Redness, swelling, hot to the touch, oozing, dark, bleeding - those might be signs to call the Dr. Itchy is normal though.

I am 6 weeks out and one of mine is still not healed. Everything was going great until week 4 and my scab fell off. Then the incision busted back open and had drainage. Now, I can tell it is healing from the inside out, but it is taking forever since there is no glue there anymore to keep it closed. The surgeon took a look @ it during week 4 and said it just had to heal on its own.
