Asked By:squid123 in Vienna, AT

I am 5 weeks post-op and it seems that incision under my right breast is not healing properly if compared to my left one. My surgeon told me I need to put on some tape and and move the wound edges closer to each other so it could heal better. Do I really need to just "squeeze" the skin together and put on the tape? Is the scar gonna look ugly now? I am really nervous...
