Result you show on your photos is very typical finding early after lift that involves reversed T scar. When scars mature (1-1.5 years after surgery) this will most likely disappear. You should discuss this issue with surgeon in your next follow up visit. Good luck.
Dear RG1988,this type of wound is not uncommon after breast lift. It is usually caused by poor blood flow. I would suggest you to consult your plastic surgeon, follow your surgeon's instructions and keep your wound clean and covered. It can take few weeks or months for wound to fully heal.

The T area of the incision has the most tension, therefore is a common area to split open slightly. It usually heals without incident if this occurs. Check with your surgeon to make sure there isn't a suture there irritating it and preventing it from healing over.There are many factors, which should be discussed with your board certified plastic surgeon and an in-person exam.Hope this is helpful, best of luck!
The T-junction where the vertical and horizontal incisions meet is a common place to have small separations in the incision given this area is under the most tension (and even more tension after some swelling), as well as being farthest away from the blood supply needed to heal the incision. In your photo, this is either a small area of delayed wound healing or an underlying suture that may be causing irritation. I would give a call to your surgeon's office to make sure this is not at risk of infection or a suture "spitting" out.
This is the inverted-T apex of the incision where the two side flaps of the breast were brought together and approximated to the incision of the breast fold. This is an area of tension and often there are special sutures placed to help this area hold together while healing. You may have a spitting absorbable suture, retained bit of nonabsorbable suture, or some delayed healing that resulted in a redder/thicker scar. Your surgeon should be able to guide you but if no implants were used, this is likely nothing to be concerned about.
The spot may be a suture just under the skin. Most sutures used in breast reductions are typically absorbable. Over time the spot should go away as it dissolves. For a definitive answer, you should follow up with your plastic surgeon.
Hi in2minds, Generally speaking, if the nipples are lower than the inframammary line the patient will most likely need a breast lift. If the nipples are at or above the inframammary line we can generally get by with just breast augmentation depending on the size of the implant the patient...
