Unfortunately sometimes after surgery there can be some skin loss. This is common under the breast. The open area will heal secondarily with the application of Bacitracin. Generally the scar will fade and improve. It can take several weeks.
Based on the picture alone, you appear to have an isolated area on non healing/ischemic tissue. Breast reductions do have the potential for wound healing issues especially near the location where your picture shows such. I would encourage you to be patient with the healing process. I would get direction from your surgeon as to how they recommend caring for areas with poor wound healing. Best wishes for a speedy recovery,Dr. Mooty
Congratulations on your breast reduction, daniclevi!It looks to me like that part failed to heal properly.

You have a small area of loss of skin or a small irritated infected area. Best to continue to do exactly what you are doing. This will heal nicely. My Best, Dr Commons

Hi, If you are taking antibiotics/painkiller, you should wait until you finish taking them. However a glass of wine or beer (I would avoid spirits-gin-vodka-wisky) at least 2 hours before or after your medication will not kill you and will not affect the result or the healing process.
