Incision seemed to open/scab ripped off after removing surgical bra. What should I do? Will it heal or scar? (photo)

I keep applying the cream and I sometimes apply gauze when I'm at work to protect the incision from sticking onto the bra but it seems that when I do remove the gauze, the bit of skin that was healing tends to come off as well and I'm back to square one. What can I do? How long will it take for this to heal? Will there be a noticeable scar afterwards?
