Open wound advice? Do I need to get it stitched again? I am no longer in contact with my surgeon (Photo)

It is very common with breast lifts for these things to occur, especially if a woman is heavy breasted. With the mastopexy incision, being that it goes around the areola and then down to the breast crease, the weight of your breast will cause tension on that part of the incision, especially if you are not wearing a supportive enough bra. In most circumstances, keeping the incision clean with antibiotic ointment and a sterile gauze will help it heal. A wet to dry technique using some saline solution or distilled water is also another way of helping it to heal up. It is important to be seen in person by a professional. In some situations if the area is not getting any better , antibiotics of a Negative Pressure seal may need to be used to guarantee healing.

It appears that your sutures had become infected. As you have had that area operated on twice, I believe the best way forward would be for you to treat the area conservatively until your wound is fully healed, and the scars are fully matured. At that point, you could decide whether you wanted to do additional revisions or the result is acceptable to you. Operating while you have an open wound means that you’re operating in a contaminated environment and can lead to additional problems.
