Is the scar around my nipple healing properly 1 month post op from donut breast lift? (Photo)

Asked By:toniethetiger27 in Tempe, AZ

Most of my stitches have fallen out but I have three larger knots that haven’t fell out and a scab that’s starting to open up on one of them at the bottom of my nipple. I just want to be sure this isn’t something I should be concerned about. And wondering if I need to do anything about the semi-open scab?
