Hole under breast 3 weeks after lift & implants. Any suggestions? (photos)

January 6, 2016
Asked By:prettynpink in Tampa, FL

I had what looked to be a infected area. I contacted my Dr & got a script for ointment. 7 days later I noticed a hole that seem to get bigger each day & looks to be stitches ripped or ripping. Im concerned the hole will get too big. Is this normal? Is it something that needs attention or will heal itself from the inside out w/ continuing the ointment treatment. I use ointment 2 x a day & wash with soap & water. Attached is day 1 of my concern then the size difference from day 6 & day 7 (today)
