The steri-strips came off and this is what was underneath the steri strip. This is under my right breast. I have Saline implants 400 filled to 430 cc. It is not hot to touch and I have not noticed any drainage. What is the White area inside the incision? I am going to call my PS in the morning. This incision has been more painful than the left.

Answer: Potential exposure of a breast implant
It appears that you have a superficial wound opening but this condition should not be taken lightly. The inframammary crease incision is the most common incision used for breast augmentation however it is at the bottom of the breasts and all of the edema fluid will drift to this location. A scar is actually its weakest point 2 weeks after surgery. This type of wound separation requires plastic surgical expertise to ensure that the implant does not become exposed. Once exposed the implant will likely need to be removed.

Answer: Incision Slightly Open
You are right in calling your surgeon .This looks like a superficial healing problem but since there is an implant involved, it should get checked out.
