I had breast reduction surgery months ago where my vertical incision opened/split. Is it common for a surgeon to use only skin glue to close this incision? There were not exterior sutures, only glue and steri-strips. Thank you.

You did not post photos and many women do not actually wear the appropriate sized bra, so I cannot say. Your surgeon has seen you and knows what is best.
The inferior part can be lifted and the scar can be redone. Plus the lateral excess can be trimmed. However, this will not be covered by insurance since you are too far out from the original procedure.
Most insurance companies need a certain amount of tissue removed to be covered. I suggest checking with your company. Otherwise, you can still have the surgery and pay for it.
