I had got my breast redone about 4 weeks ago I went under the muscle 550cc under the breast. Everything was fine up until this week the incision on both sides started feeling irritated & burning, I did start wearing a regular bra that had an underwire which may have caused the irritation. I just noticed the hole. I don't know what to think I am worried. What does this mean? And what will happen? I will contact my surgeon when his office opens back up. Will he have to stitch it back up ?
