Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. It appears that the tissue underneath your scab is healing well and shows no signs of further compromise or infection. I would now reach out to your surgeon in order to discuss local care options to help speed healing and maturation of scarring. Hope this helps.
Hello!This looks fine. Typical area for healing issues at nipple. Keep this area clean and apply Aquaphor daily - get a fresh tube - and cover with bandage. Schedule a time to see your surgeon for an assessment, particularly if there is redness, drainage, pain.Best of luck!
Follow your PS's post-operative guidelines in caring for your scar. Silicone sheets, Mederma, and Biocorneum are reasonable and popular options. I recommend that the scar therapy begin after the scars have healed and there are no open areas, which usually takes 4 to 6 weeks.Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
This is a very common site for delayed healing as it is where the inner and outer 'flaps' of breast tissue and skin come together under tension. It should go on to heal over the next 3 - 4 weeks on its own, but needs a dressing to allow it to heal. Occasionally there is a retained suture at this area which needs to be removed to allow this area to heal. You should check with your surgeon to be sure there is not a retained deep stitch.
You have a small area of dehiscence or opening on the left breast. This should close with conservative treatment. You should follow up with your plastic surgeon.
