The patient will go home in a bra or with only light dressings over the incision lines. Sutures are dissolvable but an ending knot, if present is removed within 1-2 weeks. Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication. Light activities may be started in 7-10 days.#Hypertrophic or #keloid scars can be a problem. The worst are usually under the breast with an #AnchorLift or inverted “T”. These can be treated like all thickened scars with re-excision, laser, kenalog/5-FU injections, creams, silicone strips and other methods to reduce and improve healing.If you determine a question of your sutures or scars healing the best is to visit your surgeon directly and have the area examined to make sure that healing is progressing as it should.

This wound, if at its largest size at this moment, could take up to 2 months to heal. You may consider talking with your surgeon about placing a smaller implant and revising the scar for faster healing.
You didn't mention whether you had an implant or not. Assuming you did not have an implant normal healing will occur over another 8 weeks or so. The wound appears almost completely granulated.

I appreciate your question. This is not a technique I use. I developed and perform a liposuction breast lift that removes tissue from the areas you don't want such as near the armpit and the lower portion hanging near your stomach. Once I use this to shape the breast...
You are asymmetric, but not severely droopy. A crescent lift will help. Minimal scarring, but your asymmetry will persist and your areolae will get larger. A periareolar or "donut" mastopexy is probably what most people would recommend, as your nipples are low, but your degree of skin...
