Splitting incisions. When is it safe?

Bridge34Feb 19, 2014
I do have a question about splitting I am maybe freaking out.. I had my surgery 6 weeks ago everything looks really really good. one still have a little scab where the T incision meets (I know this is commun to take longer at that place to fully heal).

I would like to know when are you "safe" for that kind of stuff not happening?
