I believe the permanent stitch around my areola has shifted or popped. I have an open wound under my nipple. What can be done?

Sorry for your problem and I would see my surgeon or other expert in the area and be evaluated in person to avoid further problems Dr Corbin

Usually, most of the deep sutures that are placed dissolve on their own. Sometimes, the sutures will work their way to the surface. We call this a spitting suture. With removal of the offending suture and standard wound care,these usually resolve on their own. If, however, this is a permanent suture placed around the areola, this may need to be removed. I would recommend you go back and see your chosen plastic surgeon.
