8 days post op breast reduction, is this wound dehiscence? (Photos)

A minor wound dehiscence at this location is not uncommon following breast reduction surgery. Most are superficial, and heal well with conservative management, and ongoing wound care. The resulting scar may require revision at a later date, but many heal very well. If you haven't already done so, I would inform your surgeon of the status of your wound site. The inverted-T closure is the area of maximum tension following reduction. Support with a soft bra is very helpful, to encourage more rapid healing at this site. Best of luck to you.

Thank you for your question. Wound dehiscence or wound breakdown is one of the most common complications after reduction mammoplasty. This is most often found at the junction of two scar lines. In your case is at the junction of the inverted T.  This is the area of the wound where the tension is the greatest. It usually heals by secondary intention with local wound care and the scar is acceptable.  Best wishes.
