Congratulations on your recent surgery. If there any concerns, then it's best to discuss them with your surgeon. Based on your photos, it appears that the small opening is simply some superficial loss of skin. With good care, this should heal up quickly.

Hi there, Thank you for your question. It appears as though you have an area of your incision that is slow to heal. Ensure you speak with your surgeon in regards to incision care and it should heal well. Best, realdrsix

Hi and thank you for your question!
  
First off, congratulations on your successful breast augmentation. Based on the photo you sent, a portion of your incision heals relatively slow compared to the rest of the incision. There is no need to worry as this will resolve in the following weeks. I would suggest to keep following your plastic surgeon’s post-operation instructions to prevent complications and for a faster recovery. Best of luck!

and your surgeon should be providing you with all the reassurances you need to not worry.  So text your photo to your surgeon for recommendations.  Based on your photo, there isn't anything worrisome appreciated.

There is slow healing in part of your incision.Keep it clean and covered with some antibiotic ointment till it is healed in a week or so.
