Is There a Hole Under my Breast? (photo)

Chi Chi,

    This looks like puckering of the skin which is common with this technique.  It may stretch a little and go away in the next few months.  You are still early in the healing phase at this point.  I would send your photos to the nurses at your surgeon's clinic and get their opinion.  By the way, your result looks good so far.

Your
pictures indicate that you’ve undergone a mastopexy with a lollipop
incision.  When this approach is
utilized, the vertical limb is sometimes shortened to improve contour.  This maneuver utilizes a gathering suture
which often results in puckering of the ends of the closure.

This usually improves with the
passage of time.  Rarely a scar revision
is necessary.  If you’re concerned about
this problem, it’s important to consult your plastic surgeon.  Your surgeon should be able to explain the
situation and formulate an appropriate treatment plan. 

Although wound healing problems are uncommon after a breast lift, they may occur. The problem in the picture shows some delayed healing at the inverted T. That particular portion of the closure is subjected to the most tension and can result in some mild wound separation. The best thing to do is to consult with your surgeon. Typical areas of mild wound separation usually heal without any issues and local wound care is all that's needed. In the unlikely event that the scar is unacceptable then a scar revision can certainly be performed. I hope this helps and good luck.
