Opening on Incision Line 3 Months Post-op?

September 15, 2013
Asked By:elljay34

I had my reduction/lift 3 months ago with some delayed healing with the T-junction on one side but other than that was fine. The incisions have been scarred over for a month but yesterday I notices a hole in the vertical incision on the same side that had issues earlier. It's about 2 centimeters in diameter and looks like the scar tissue pulled apart at that point. It looks almost like a puncture wound. I can't contact my surgeon until the end of the week and just wondered what I should do?

Answer: Suture "spitting" can create a small open wound even months after breast reduction.
