Areola incision suture and healing process. (Photo)

Hi... thank you for the question and photos... You seems to be healing correctly.. The scars look normal and the swollen is going down. 

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.In my practice, after performing a breast augmentation I recommend to my patients to limit the movement of the arms for two weeks. After that, you can move your arms taking care and always with common sense. In this regard, it's not advisable to carry heavy weights to prevent the implant out of position, and allow the formation of the physiological capsule around the implant, also to avoid pain and breast swelling.Respectfully, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.- 

Your incision lines look good. It looks like you are spitting a deep suture. Your surgeon can remove this in the office.

You are 5 weeks out from this incision. The incision looks good and that may be an absorbable suture knot. I would recommend you return to your surgeon to evaluate. Oftentimes these disappear on their own over time, but I will often just remove them. Your surgeon should also discuss scar management with you to optimize the healing and appearance of the scars.Best of luck!

My best advise would be to schedule an appointment with your operating surgeon - just to ensure that you are healing properly and to remove the string on the right nipple. Generally, it will take your breasts between 3-6 months to fully heal and settle.

I appreciate your question.Because there has been a change in your post op course, please follow up with operating MD so he /she can recommend best and most safe treatment plan.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Hello,By 5 weeks I would expect incisions to be well-healed however your scars will be maturing and improve over 1 year. Occasionally a small piece of suture might wiggle it's way out. I recommend that you ask your Plastic Surgeon to examine your incisions and if necessary, remove the suture to help the spot close up.All the best

Thank you for your question and photographs. Your incisions look to be healing well, but if there is any suture that is exposed or that you can feel, best to have this removed by your surgeon in order to allow complete healing to take place.  Hope that this helps. 

From the photographs I don't see anything that is alarming at this point convalescence. After wound remodeling is complete most periareolar incisions are almost invisible.

Your photos demonstrate a periareolar incision that is healing reasonably well.  Your surgeon will likely remove the one exposed suture and, in the end, you should have an acceptable, symmetric scar.
