There is a hole in my right incision, I am wondering if it looks OK and normal? Should I be worried about anything, will it close on its own? There is no discharge or blood coming from the hole. But it was one small hole that looked like it got a bit bigger.

Answer: Post op healing Based solely on your photos, yes, you look to be healing nicely. That one spot is probably where the drain was, yes? It will simply take longer to heal as if must do so from the inside out. Keep an eye on it. It should catch up with the rest of the incision but if not, see your surgeon. My best,

Answer: 14 days post-op. Does transaxillary incisions look like they are doing well? Thank you for your question and series of photographs. I can see your area of concern, but overall your incision look to be doing well. This small hole where your drain apparently was will need time to heal from the "inside-out." It should even out with the rest of your skin, but if it does not it may need to be evaluated to make sure that you do not have a stitch or other foreign body preventing its closure. Hope this helps.
