About 2 weeks post op my breast lift incision starting opening at the scar line. The opening continued to get bigger and basically was an open wound. PS did not seem too worried and gave me ointment and gauze to cover. Will this opening ruin my scar? Is this typical in a breast lift? With the lipo before my belly button was not protruding outward and not it is. It that common?
