I have tunneling about 1 in. They have me packing the wound. How long can this take to heal?

Zoodie
I had breast reduction surgery on the 5th of this month. On the 18th they removed the stitches. On the 19th the t-section started to bleed. Saw the plastic surgeon on the 22nd. She packed the wound and said there was a tunnel going to the right of my breast. I am instructed to change the packing once daily. Is there anything else I can do to speed up healing?
