I had a mastopexy and augmentation on 3/9.On 4/8, slightly above the inverted T junction,the incision started to open up and I've since had multiple "spitting" sutures removed.It's approx the size of a quarter and is fairly superficial.It was cultured and I was put on abx.The wound now looks clean, but there is no visible improvement.My surgeon had me apply Silvadene BID,but when I f/u with his partner,he said to do wet-to-dry dressings.Any advice on the best way to treat and speed this up?
