Huge wound protruding under nipple area. Can this be fixed/closed to prevent huge scar? Breast lift/implants. (Photos)

MightasWell
Do you in your practice close this wound or leave it to heal on its own? The flesh seems to be protruding a bit if you look at the side view on pics above. If this is not closed and just left alone it will leave a huge scar under the nipple, which will look bad. Is this wound something to be worried or just "keep it clean" and "change dressings" is the only way to go?
