Open wound after a suture come out 5 months post op! Any suggestions? (photos)

Thank you for your question.  It looks and sounds like you are describing a spitting suture, which is very common after a breast augmentation.  If the whole suture came out then your doctor is right, you will want to keep the are clean, but it should close on its own now.  If your concerns continue and it is not healing then I would recommend seeing a plastic surgeon in your area.If you would like more information regarding breast augmentation, you can download a free copy of my breast augmentation planner at ABetterBreast.com.Good luck

From your description and your photographs, it
appears you have a suture that has erupted through the skin and festered a
small wound. These situations are
usually short lived when one removes a
suture, as the suture is acting as a foreign body, it can act as a trigger for
infection. Keeping the wound clean with
soap and water, and covered with a small Band-Aid, should be all that is
required. I would discourage your use of
Neosporin for the long term, however, as it can have damaging affects when used
for more than 24-48 hours. If your symptoms
persist, I would suggest that you schedule an appointment to see your local plastic
surgeon for further evaluation.
