I'm very worried that it looks worse instead of better. There is separation around the nipple and at the top of the T should I be worried. I am not sure what to think. I'm exactly 1 month post op what went wrong? My other nipple is fine.

Answer: Separation and nonhealing is what is shown Discuss with your surgeon if debridement (removal of the scab) is in order or scar revision and timing. Although scabs can be disconcerting the t junction is the most common area for this. Often closure after the wound is healed and possibly a scar revision can return the appearance to within normal limits.
