Spitting suture? Does this look infected? (Photos)

I appreciate your question.



Since there has been a change in your post op course, please contact your surgeon so he/she can examine you and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan at this time.

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!

Thank you for your pictures and question.  I agree that your wounds appear to be the result of spitting sutures and now that the knots have fallen out you should see these two areas close quickly.  I do not see any signs of a worsening infection but maintain close follow-up with your surgeon to avoid this issue. Best wishes.

HiThank you for your question and images.The wounds do not look infected and often when the suture knot is expelled it allows the wound to heal over. I would expect your wounds to be fully healed in approx 3 weeks.best wishes 

Thank you for your question. It look like spitting of the suture. No signs of definite infection at least in the picture. Please clean the wound locally and follow instructions from your PS
