What Can I Do About Raised/Stretched Skin Above the Sternum? (Photos)

September 26, 2011
Asked By:wkroeker in Westmont, IL

I am post op 6 days currently and I am very concerned about the skin between my breasts. It is extremely stretched, tight, and rasied. Is there anything I can do to correct this as I am healing? Also, why is there two incesion areas on the one breast?, and is that going to affect my nipple placement?
