Incision open 6 months post op, should I see my doctor?

December 23, 2014
Asked By:Grace91 in Australia, AU

My breasts healed well after my surgery, I had a lollipop lift and 450cc implants. Thismorning I layed on my side in bed, hubby rolled over to give me a cuddle a squished my boob for a moment. Immediately noticed my incision under the nipple had popped open ( size of a 5cent piece Aus) Is this a cause for concern? Should I go see my doctor? I had the surgery abroad so can't go see my PS Thanks in advance
