Is the white around the edges of the wound mean its healing or something else? How long does it take to heal? I am 4 wks post op BL/BA. I had an open area when my stitches were taken out, which has gotten worse with spitting stitches. I am following up with my surgeon weekly.

Answer: Incision breakdown Thanks for the picture. Unfortunately wound breakdown can happen with the breast augmentation and lift. The wounds look like they're healing satisfactory to this point. Continue to follow up with plastic surgeon.

Answer: Good healing This wound did not open due to infection, bad stitching technique, wrong deep glandular technique, etc, it is open due to mechanical over tension. Its depth is fleshy, granulative and healthy, and will begin to close when the tension is reduced after swelling.This problem, not serious it seems, happens in uplifts with too wide implants, or when the patient is not absolutely inmobile at home the first 2 weeks.Regards
