I am almost two weeks post op from a benelli lift on my left side with implants. My surgeon used dermabond for the incision and I noticed about two days ago that as the dermabond wore away the skin and the nipple are no longer sitting flush. I called and they told me to leave it. I don't necessarily want to say it's a dehiscence because it's not wide open, I'm just unsure if it will heal without intervention of some sort. The Third picture gives the best view of my issue. Thank you in advance
