Received a breast lift and reduction four weeks ago. Left breast is fine, right breast has some nipple healing issues but it's healing. Main issue is the incision under the breast. There is an open wound at the t junction which is slowly healing. The incision though is puckered, swollen and bumpy. There is also a hole at the end of it. The de pulled a stitch out ten days ago but no change. It leaks clear fluid and is very deep. Is my incision infected? Will the hole heal?
