Is my stitches intact?

2023-09-03 19:17:41
I had my gynocomastia surgery done 18 days before. After gland excision my nipples had been stitched with absorbable suture. However I noticed today that a small portion on one side seems to be slightly open. I am worried will it be a problem in future during a workout or sexual act. Will this tear open my nipple if someone pinch or bite it in future? Should I redo my suture? Please help.
