My wounds were really neat and just a straight thin line. Then I noticed the left was like this. Is it possible I have popped a stitch? Am I going to get uneven scars? I have internal permanant sutures so I'm a bit worried.

Answer: Incision Concerns Thank you for your question. I do not see any signs of a wound infection or opening of the incision. The appearance may be due to the deeper sutures, which should settle over 6 weeks. In addition, please be careful with excessive friction or tension on your scars which can influence the final result. Please follow the recs of your surgeon. All the best. Dr. Gill

Answer: Concerned about scar Hi, joannabo. It does not seem like there is a problem with left incision. There is swelling and mild ecchymosis (bruising); however, I do not see anything out of ordinary. Scars mature and remodel over 1 year period. The appearance of scar should improve with time. Please visit your plastic surgeon and share your concern. Good luck with your healing.
