Answer: Am 3weeks postop, is this a breast lift gone wrong? Hello! Thank you for your question! Your wound is at an area that is not u common following the inverted-T incision. Your wound appears superficial with granulation tissue at the base. I don’t appreciate any signs of infection or any need for surgical intervention at this time. I would agree with local wound care at this time. Once fully healed, consideration for scar revision may be entertained if still unsightly scar. Best wishes!

Answer: 3 weeks It is not unusual to have wound issues of the joins of the horizontal and vertical scar. This will heal and will contract and often the scars will fade. It is obviously concerning at this point and best to keep in touch with your PS. The spitting stitches should stop in the coming weeks and once the scars start contracting you will start to see an improvement. The key at this point is that the wounds do not get infected.
