Expert Care for Post-Surgical Non-Healing Wounds
Surgical wounds should heal within a predictable timeframe, but complications can arise that prevent proper healing. Whether due to underlying health conditions, infections, or poor circulation, non-healing wounds require specialized care.

What Types of Surgial Wounds We Treat
At our wound care clinics in Loma Linda and Mission Viejo, we treat a variety of post-surgical wound complications, including the following:
Plastic surgery (tummy tucks, mommy makeovers, facelifts, liposuction, breast augmentation/reduction)
Bariatric surgery (gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, lap band removal)
Orthopedic surgery (hip/knee replacements, spinal procedures)
Abdominal surgery (hernia repair, C-sections, appendectomies)
Other general surgeries that have led to delayed healing
If your surgical site remains open, appears inflamed, or worsens over time, seeking professional wound care can help accelerate healing and prevent serious complications.
Signs of an Infected Surgical Wound
Recognizing the signs of an infected surgical wound is crucial. If you experience any of the following symptoms, it’s time to seek medical attention:
-
Increased redness or swelling around the wound
-
Persistent or worsening pain
-
Yellow, green, or foul-smelling drainage
-
Fever or chills
-
Skin that feels warm or hot to the touch
-
The wound opening wider instead of closing
Early intervention can prevent severe infections and potential hospitalizations. Our team specializes in treating infected and non-healing wounds to help you recover safely and effectively.
Why Some Surgical Wound Take Longer to Heal
Healing times vary based on individual factors. Some patients experience slower healing due to:
- Diabetes or other chronic conditions
- Poor circulation or vascular disease
- Smoking history
- Obesity or malnutrition
- Previous infections or complications
- Excessive tension on surgical sutures
Our wound care specialists work closely with your surgeon to create a customized treatment plan that promotes healing and prevents complications. We use evidence-based therapies to enhance tissue regeneration and wound closure, helping you get back to your life as quickly as possible.
Post-surgical Wound FAQs
What if I can’t go back to the surgeon who did my procedure. Can you still treat me?
Yes! Many surgeons are unable or unwilling to see post-surgical patients from other providers. At Jovive Wound Care, we provide compassionate, non-judgmental care for anyone suffering from a non-healing surgical wound. Whether you traveled abroad for plastic surgery or simply need a second opinion, our specialists are here to help you heal.
It’s been weeks since my surgery, and my wound still isn’t healing. When should I seek help?
If your wound remains open longer than expected, looks inflamed, or isn’t improving, it’s time to see a specialist. Factors like poor circulation, diabetes, infection, or improper wound care can slow healing. At Jovive Wound Care, we use advanced treatments to promote healing and prevent chronic wound complications.
Do I need a referral to visit Jovive Wound Care for my post-surgical wound?
No referral is required! You can schedule an appointment directly at our Loma Linda or Mission Viejo clinics for expert wound care. We’ll work closely with your surgeon if needed, but you do not need a prior referral to receive treatment.
I had plastic surgery in Mexico, and now my incision won’t heal. Can you help?
Yes! We frequently treat patients who have undergone plastic surgery abroad and are experiencing complications like open incisions, infections, or slow healing wounds. No matter where your procedure was performed, our expert team provides advanced wound care to help you heal safely and effectively.
