I had my breast reduction surgery on 4/28 and I noticed this afternoon that it looks like my nipple is separating from the skin. Is this normal. Will it close on its on?

Answer: Skin separation after breast reduction It does look like you have a small skin separation along your nipple suture line. This is not uncommon, and should heal on its own.

Answer: Healing issues following breast reduction Hello and congrats on your breast reduction. You look like you have a small separation in your incision that should heal up fine with some simple wound care. I typically recommend antibioitic ointment and a band-id until the small area contracts. This can take several days to a week or so. Minor wound healing problems are common with breast reduction and almost always heal without significantly affecting your cosmetic outcome. Always best to follow-up with your surgeon, good luck!
