Which week should I be healed from having a Bilateral Breast reduction?

lpgordon
I am on my sixth week from having a Bilateral breast reduction and I am not healed. My left breast "separated" underneath and then to my nipple by the second week. My right breast "separated" on the 5th week. They stitched them at that point but not the separation up to the nipple, that is still open. Should I be putting anything on them to promote the healing?
