String coming out of left breast.

Question

Today will be 7 weeks since my breat lift for both and slight reduction on my left breast. I was looking at them today and my left one is still WAY smaller than my right. The right is seriously perfect. And I hate the way the left looks and how much smaller it is! And it's so noticeable even in a bra!!! I keep crying and now where the nipple and straight scar meet I have a string sticking out and there is a hole!

In our office the recovery period involves the patient going home in a bra or with only light dressings
over the incision lines. Sutures are dissolvable but an ending knot, if present
is removed within 1-2 weeks. Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral
medication. Light activities may be started in 7-10 days.After this amount of time if you are still questioning the result of your procedure, then you should contact your surgeon immediately to schedule a follow-up and discuss the current appearance and any further recovery or any rework that may need to be done. Best of luck!

You  may have a small dehiscence or separation of the incision.   A photo would be nice. Best to discuss with your surgeon.

Hello
dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well… 
I have to say that you are still early on healing process, it is too soon to
determine how your results are going to be, per now, they look very nice and
beautiful, you can have one bigger than the other, feel swollen and also have
bruises and open wounds, it is normal and that can happen for the first 3 to 4
months until your implants have settle in. I recommend you to wait and keep
using your post surgical bra, that will help you with the shape and support. Hugs!

John S. Alspaugh, MD, FACS · Answer

The string is probably one of the sutures that are designed to dissolve over time. Sometimes the sutures will appear on the surface and should be removed by your surgeon. You need to discuss with him your concerns about your surgery results. Hopefully time will produce improvement. Seven weeks post op is still early.
