I had my surgery around 10 days ago, so my stitches should really be out already, but today I found out that the clinic has closed down over christmas.
Now that I look at my incisions, it seems something might be wrong with the left one.

Here it is shortly after surgery
You can see that it's slightly folded on the bottom half of the nipple (sorry, bad quality)

Here it is now:

And here is the right incision for comparison:



I'm really stressing out right now, have my sutures ripped, or did the doctor do a poor job or lining up the skin? Will I have a huge scar now?

Well I managed to get an email to one of the nurses, and she said it looks "excellent" for 10 days post op. I feel a bit better now.
Noticed that the other nipple is a bit sunken, but I guess it's too early to tell how it will look

Relax -- it looks just fine.  It is only 10 days after surgery -- it takes 4-6 months to be fully healed, and during that time, there will be lots of changes.

But for now, it looks great.
