Will my open wound under my breast close? (photo)

Pioneering9061
4 weeks po. My left breast is very swollen, sore and numb at the same time. My would is open and it looks like some type of white sticky puss is coming out. My doctor said I don’t not have enough calorie intake and it is causing the wound to heal slow. He says if I don’t eat better my incision will basically rip and my implant will start to fall. He also removes some tiny stitches from inside. Will the scar close? Is it to late? Should I always keep it covered with gauze? Or let air heal the wound?
