Scar issues 9 months after lift. What can be done to improve this? (Photo)

Asked By:lma123

I had an explant and lift done in Jan. 2022. I have had places break open and bleed since then. My surgeon said this was caused from me being allergic to the suture (and that they can't fix it due to an anesthesia shortage for at least 12 months - they won't even tentatively put me on the schedule.) I got a 2nd & 3rd opinions that said it was definitely not an allergic reaction but they didn't tell me exactly what the problem was. Can anyone explain why this is happening & what I should do?
