My stretch mark split open during breast aug. Any suggestions?

Taradp27
I got 425cc saline under the muscle, areola incision 7 days ago. I saw my surgeon today to get my stitches out and he informed me that during surgery, a small stetch mark on the left breast "gave out" and he had to stitch it up. Is this possible? Ever since I woke up from surgery, this breast has been more painful and swollen then the other. I'm concerned that my surgeon is not being honest with me regarding this complication.
