It looks like you had a quality reduction and are simply having a small healing issue at the T junction which is the most susceptible area for a wound. It is unlikely that this will turn into anything serious. Make sure your bra is not rubbing on the area, and if the incision opens up a little, you will likely need to perform dressing changes to accelerate healing. More than likely you will heal just fine as is. Let your surgeon know what's going on in case they have any specific suggestions. Best of luck!
You may have a small separation or wound dehiscence. I would recommend you follow up with your plastic surgeon and they should guide you in your post op Care.Best Regards Dr Gartner
Thank you for the picture. the dark spot at your T-junction does not appear concerning in my professional opinion. This may represent residual discoloration from the bruising that you mentioned.

Thank you for your question and photo. Yes, this is not uncommon. That location has the highest tension (tightness) and poorest blood flow. The result can be a small area of separation that requires minor wound care for full healing. This is more common with larger reductions, obese patients, and use of the inverted T incision. Check with your surgeon for instructions. Good luck.

The spot at the T junction may be a small separation (not uncommon in this location), residual bruising, or a suture related problem. Your plastic surgeon will be able to sort this out for you at your next follow-up. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.
I think it's very possible to get to you down to the smaller size and desire. The question of doing it now versus later is always an interesting one and no one can tell you a hundred percent what to do. But I would recommend if you're having a lot of back neck shoulder pain symptoms and...
It looks like you had some loss of tissue in that area which is not so uncommon. You should follow what your plastic surgeon says. I would though recommend ScaRxTape.com for your incisions to minimize them. I recommend that my patients use it for at least a two to three month period.
