Quick question regarding nipple incision.

[theman]

Hi,

I'm about a week post op, but one of my nipple incisions isnt fully healed yet, however all my other incisions have healed; is this normal?

If so, how long will it take until the cut has healed?

Thanks

Sometimes an incision can remain open after surgery for one of many reasons.  However, if you keep it clean and free of infection, it should heal quite well.

Best to consult with your surgeon -- he will give you the best advice.
