I’m 4-5 weeks post op and my incision appears to be opening up on the edge. Should I be worried? Why is this happening? Is it possible the sports bra was rubbing my incision and irritating it?

Answer: Incision opening after a breast augmentation It is not likely your bra but rather you are "spitting a stitch", meaning that one of the sutures placed during the surgery is becoming exposed. See your surgeon and they can confirm this and remove it. It shouldn't be much of an issue but I would see them soon to prevent a more problematic infection of the skin (cellulitis) from starting.
