A month post breast augmentation. Should I be worried about this or will this be ok? (photos)

Asked By:mjaay13 in Los Angeles, CA

I asked my nurse if this is infected or maybe i need antibiotics for this but she has assured me it’ll close on its own.I do air fruit with a blow dryer on low after every shower, and when I’m done I tape gauze over it. She didn’t instruct me to apply any type of ointment so I haven’t been applying anything to it. I had 560cc to both my right and left breast. I hope it doesn’t have anything to do with the size ?
