Wound Not Healing After Breast Reduction? (photo)

Asked By:Tsa0426

I am 4 weeks out on having a breast reduction. I have one breast that is healing perfectly and one that has a dime sized opening in the "T" spot. My doctor has me doing the wet to dry dressings. Nothing seems to be changing. What else can I try...I don't want a huge scar!
