How do T-junction openings heal after Breast Reduction?

prettygirl925
I had a breast reduction about three weeks ago, and the incisions opened up a little at the T-junction, to about a quarter size. I know this is a common problem for breast reduction patients, and everyone says it will heal with time, but how does it heal? Will is close back up when the swelling goes down? Or does the area where my flesh is exposed just scab up eventually? Any kind of insight would be helpful!
