Hi Doctors

Dear  MrsKelly18,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD

Thank you for your question. I would recommend that you follow up with your original surgeon for a proper assessment to discuss your current issue.

From the photo it looks to be more skin gathering than a hole and is probably the excess skin at the end of the scar - a dog ear as we tend to call it. Best to be examined by your PS if you have any concerns.
