Incision Popping Open 6 and 8 Weeks Post-op Breast Lift

2933anon
At 6 weeks and 8 weeks post-op breast lift surgery I have had a one inch section in the vertical incision under my nipple pop open releasing blood and fluid. My doctor seemed unconcerned but didn't give much explanation for this. He said I could resume my exercise routine but I am too nervous it will come open again. Is this a normal occurence and why has it happened twice and do you feel I can resume exercise before it is completely healed?
