Dear justme1912,this should heal just fine, only it would take a bit more time.There is no sign of infection on the surrounding tissue. You should visit your plastic surgeon for an in-person examination. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am. Society of Plastic Surgery
If these have newly developed, it looks like you may have issues with wound healing. I suggest you see your surgeon for an examination to ensure everything is okay.
What your photos show is some mild separation of the incision. This should be monitored carefully. As long as the separation is just at the skin level and not deeper so as to communicate with the implant, it should heal with local wound care and time. I would make sure your surgeon is aware of this new development so that they can monitor the healing progress and possibly start you on antibiotics or recommend a specific dressing change.
You have some dehiscence of the wound which basically means that the suture line pulled apart a little bit. This is ok and will eventually heal as long as there is no communication to the pocket of the implant. You should make sure that you keep in close contact with your surgeon as you heal. Some surgeons may put you on antibiotics as you heal depending on how confident they are that these ore just superficial. They usually are and you most likely have a few layers of sutures holing your tissue together under these more superficial layers. Additionally, it takes about 48 hours for your body to "seal a wound".Bottom line though is that in the early stages of your recovery, it is always a good idea to follow up closely with your surgeon and make sure that they are happy with your progress.
It appears from your photograph that the areola has separated a little bit in a few areas. This may be due to a suture that is worked its way to the skin surface. We call this a spitting stitch. A trip to your plastic surgeon may be helpful in that, if the stitches visible and can be removed it will make the hole close more quickly. It should heal in a few weeks. Congratulations on your surgery.

Being a hunter/jumper rider myself, I understand your your eagerness to get back in the saddle. I am also aware of the unpredictability of horses and the inherent danger that riding presents. I advise all my equestrians to wait at least 4 weeks for flat riding and 6 weeks to be back jumping. ...
Hello,Thank you for your question. Yes, you may have stressed your heart to the point that anaesthesia is less safe for you. You must discuss this with your Plastic Surgeon and likely your anaesthesiologist. You may undergo cardiac testing but this won't necessarily show your potential risks. As...
