Had bad wound breakdown last year and had scar revision with external only sutures. They were removed a week ago and I have these spots that aren't attached properly with ooz.

You would notice this within 1-2 days from surgery.  The nipple/areola would start to darken and scab.  It may only be partial necrosis.  If you are concerned see your plastic surgeon immediately.

I love this question as I have a daughter playing squash in college this year! You need to wait at least one month and make sure you wear a well fitted sports bra to avoid too much movement. Don't forget to call your Lets if your opponent starts getting too close. Best of luck
