T junction not healing? What should I do? (Photo)

May 31, 2017
Asked By:jamieekins in Kansas City, MO

I just had a breast lift and augmentation a week and 2 days ago. My body always heals somewhat slow for some reason. I'm worried that the t junction will take forever to heal. When I had a tt it took forever to heal, it wasn't completely healed over until 10 weeks post op. My doc told me to expose the sutures to open air to help stop the oozing of blood. Being an RN myself, I know I should let them heal from the inside out and covered. What should I do?
