Deep hole under incision and opening getting bigger, will this heal normally? (Photo)

July 7, 2017
Asked By:Reillygirl in Salt Lake City, UT

I'm 5 weeks PO breast lift no implants. Two weeks ago my left breast became red and swollen. PS said it was a seroma and put me on antibiotics. A couple days later I had a small opening under my breast that started draining. In the last two weeks the openings have continued to get bigger. My board cert PS is instructing me on wound care from another city. Wanting some additional reassurance that this will heal and even if it opens all the way it will still be ok. It's scaring me.
