BR: Wound separation at T junction, 2 weeks post-op. Advice? (photos)

March 9, 2018
Asked By:jcb7 in Pittsburgh, PA

I noticed some small wound separation at the T junctions of both breasts, the right more than the left. I am putting bacitracin on the area per instructions before I noticed separation. I’ve seen much worse pictures of separation on here so I am wondering if my separation is bad enough that I should make an appointment with my plastic surgeon to have it looked at it soon, instead of waiting for my six week post-op appointment which is already scheduled.
