I am 5 weeks post-op from Breast Augmentation and my incisions are still not fully healed/closed.

mrs. og
I don't understand why they aren't healing..I am completely healthy & have followed all of the post-op instructions. At my last appt (week 4) the nurse cut out a large knotted suture & my PS gave me an antibiotic ointment and some kind of wound care (fiber) product to put in my incision. My left side is the worst...it's not sealed, but there is tissue there. The right side has a small hole on the incision. What can I do to get these to heal??
