Have I popped/ripped my stitches? (Photo)

Thanks for ur question! I do not see anything out of the ordinary with ur early post operative scars, but u really need to contact ur plastic surgeon to clinically b sure. Good luck!

Your photos does not show a large opening but you need to follow up with your surgeon to make sure.  You don't want your implant getting exposed.

Hi,

Thanks for posting your question. I am happy to try and help you. It is
important to remember that a board certified plastic surgeon will be your best
resource when it comes to an accurate assessment of your situation, and
concerns.

Having said that, you should go see your plastic surgeon. Online consultants
are not the appropriate source of information for you; your plastic surgeon
should be your resource when it comes to postoperative concerns.

Best wishes,

Dr. Michael J. Brown
Northern Virginia Plastic Surgeon

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

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.  

Thank you for the question and the photographs. While a picture cannot take the place of an in-person examination there does not appear to be anything of concern in the pictures provided. If worried I would recommend you follow up with your plastic surgeon for an in-person examination and a discussion of your concerns. I hope this helps.

Your photographs do not demonstrate anything concerning to me but your plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to accurate assessment, advice, and/or meaningful reassurance. Best wishes.
