Had my surgery (lollipop lift with implants) exactly 4 wks ago. Had a small scab that wasn't going away where the 2 incisions met. Couldn't tell if scab was getting bigger, it wasn't healing like the rest though. This morning while taking a shower, the giant gooey scab comes off. Not a lot of pain (mildly tender to touch). When I look in the mirror, a stitch is literally poking out of a small hole. My doctor appt isn't for another couple weeks, should I see someone asap? How bad/normal is this?
Answer: Breast lift incisions This small breakdown is very common. You need good wound care, You need to see your surgeon and get the suture removed and advice on good wound care. You should heal quickly after that. Good luck.

Answer: Stitch visible in incision You have a very common complication of this incision called "spitting a stitch". As soon as the visible suture is removed, the small open area will heal. Do not wait 2 more weeks to see your surgeon. Call his/her office, tell them what is happening, and you should be brought in immediately for someone to remove that suture. All will then be well.
