Still Have Scabs 6 Weeks Post-op? (photo)

December 11, 2012
Asked By:Sugar900

I had a breast lift with augmentation 6 weeks ago. It worries me that I still have two big scabs under my nipples where the incision meets the vertical incision. Is it normal that they still aren't falling off? Can I do something to help them fall off?
