Incision site after micro-lumber surgery

2026-01-07 17:33:47
Dear Doctor, I underwent micro lumbar decompression surgery at L4–L5 and L5–S1. It has been 16 days since the surgery. Today, I noticed that the incision site appears sunken. I wanted to ask if this is a normal part of the healing process or if it is something I should be concerned about. I am attaching a photo of the incision site for your reference. Thank you for your time and guidance.

Looks like a normally healing surgical site. Is there any discharge from it at any time or is there any redness or pain around it? If so, please go back to the surgeon who did the operation immediately.
