Breast reduction incision opening. Why is this happening? (Photo)

March 31, 2017
Asked By:stonejay in Utah, UT

Help! I am so frustrated. I am 3 1/2 weeks out from breast reductions with TT and had kept it taped like I was told and then noticed yesterday that the right incision has opened. My dr says to just keep it clean and dry. I would like a second opinion. This is the second area that has not healed properly. Why is this happening?
