I am 5 weeks post op from my breast augmentation, and while putting on lotion, I pulled on what I thought was a very loose, flakey scab around my incision. Turns out I removed a 1-inch clear suture! Do I need to be concerned about infection at this point? I examined my breast in the mirror and my incision has the finest, tiniest hole but I’m not sure how deep it goes. Agh! Do I need to go in ASAP or is this something that will heal up quickly?
