I had breast augmentation/lift 11 weeks ago. The incisions keep re-opening. I also have redness and tenderness around my nipples and have had a few stitch abscess removed in that area. My doctor says I’m just sensitive to the stitches and nothing is a major concern and could take up to a year to heal.Is this something I should be concerned about? Do my breasts look infected? Will my scars be more evident since they keep re-opening?

You are very early after surgery and tissue needs to relax and let the implants settle, plus swelling needs to subside. You will probably be happy in one month and very happy by 3 months.
Dear celoosa95,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination, but you will most likely need scar revision in order to get better results. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will...
Find a plastic surgeon to see you and be evaluated. You may be developing hypertrophic scarring or possibly keloids. You need to be examined. Photos would have been very helpful here.
