Incision reopening after breast augmentation 1 month ago - should I be worried? (Photo)

Asked By:laquentalucas22 in Nashville, TN

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?
