Why am I getting "soft spots" opening up around my areola 9 weeks after BL?

Asked By:BetterMeForLife in Arlington Heights, IL

I had a breast lift 9 weeks ago and have several open wounds around one areola. The doctor refers to them as "soft spots", and I have developed several over the last few weeks. He's opened 3 so far and I am packing them with Idoform gauze. I have 2 more small spots that look suspicious. My PS has said these will heal over time, but this keeps happening. He's said we could go back into surgery to redo sutures as an option. What is the best course?
