Asked By:jjack32003 in Tampa, FL

I had a breast lift on May 14, 2014 and my one breast did not heal as well as expected. My PS tells me to keep putting Neosporin and gauze on the opening and it will take 2-3 months for the skin to grow back. He explained that the skin will be discolored and there will be more scarring than I may like which can be fixed at a later date if I wish. My question is, based on the attached picture, will my skin grow back and close the area? How long will this take? (non smoker).
