15 months post op breast reduction, incision split around 4 weeks: what should I do now? (photos)

September 8, 2022
Asked By:Magical497770 in Sanger, California

I am 15 months post op from a breast reduction/gala flex. Around 4 weeks postop my incision split. It took 4 months to close. Now almost a year after it has closed, it looks like this. I am devastated bc the point of surgery was to be relieve pain AND be in love with how I look naked. My surgeon has not been communicative with me about this. Is the only option surgery? Do you think it’s still healing? Or is this a pretty good idea of what I’m gonna be looking @ 4ever if I don’t get surgery?
