Had periareolar top surgery last month. A small hole appeared, and there is pus under the skin? (Photos)

Thanks for the questions and congrats on surgery.  Hopefully all went well.  Without knowing all details and examining you, it appears to you likely have a suture that may have gotten infected and/or broken which has caused the skin to open a little.  Sometimes you can get "spitting sutures" which is when absorbable sutures cause more reaction than normal and your body tries to get rid of them rather than just slowly dissolving them.  I would see your surgeon to make sure there is nothing else going on, but typically this is self limited and requires some local wound care and monitoring.  Good Luck.  "The above answer has been given without seeing this patient and cannot be substituted for actual in-person examination and medical advice; it is only opinion.

Hello,It is most likely a dissolvable suture knot that has worked it's way out. It's best if your surgeon takes an in-person look at it to see if there is actual pus or infection because often there will be some drainage that is not actually an infection. All the best in your recovery,Dr. BlaggAustin, TX
