Breast augmentation incision opened up - normal? See photo

May 26, 2019
Asked By:hixbye in Amsterdam, NL

3 weeks ago I got a boob job, after 2 weeks my stitches got removed and everything looked good. Now, a week after the removal, my right incision opened up. I went back to my surgeon and he said it wasn’t too bad, and I have to apply Vaseline. But still I’m a bit worried. It doesn’t hurt and I’m not feeling sick or anything. My left side is healing fine.
