Asked By:rachel lea in London, GB

3 weeks ago I started to develop little holes around the nipple where the dissolvable stitches were splitting, this got worse and eventually had a hole where the incision had separated, I ended up having to get re-stitched by the surgeon to close the gap.i also had an infection treated With ABO.blue stitches were removed 6 daysago.ive had more splitting stitches since. Today I have a clear plastic thread sticking out of the incision.im really concerned I will be left badly scared.Kindly advise? :/(
