Why would my breast augmentation incision burst open? (photo)

Asked By:jscott238 in Gainesville, FL

At about 2.5 weeks post op, I noticed blood on my ScarAway bandaid. When I lifted the bandaid, I saw my incision completely bursted. I went to the ER and they ended up having to remove my implant due to how deep the wound was and risk of infection. I never felt any pain until the implant removal, literally didn’t even know my skin ripped until I saw blood. Anyone know why this may have happened? I had zero sign of infection and don’t smoke. I was doing massages three times a day.
