Small hole getting bigger in the areola area after BL with BA. Some bleeding and discharge. Should I be concerned? (photos)

Hi marias92,

I understand your concern. Based on your photos, this is a minor healing issue and should resolve with proper wound care. 
While it is common to have a superficial separation of the wound at the incision site (i.e T junction) following a breast augmentation/lift surgery, this must be closely monitored and make sure it does not become infected. You should follow your plastic surgeon's post operative wound care management instructions.

If you are concerned, it is best that you visit your plastic surgeon to have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

This is a small, minor wound healing issue. That with good wound care will close in the next 30 days. Have you NOT seen your chosen operative surgeon in f/u visits??? I offer in my private practice options to help sped healing: PRF (PRP) injections/infusions & external laser red light therapies to area once weekly (fee $500/session). I also offer a topical ointment/gel that speeds up healing (costs $50). But best to see your operative surgeon ASAP.
