If an incision from a breast biopsy reopens, it means that further time is needed for healing. A reopening incision does not necessarily mean anything about the biopsy results. Contact your health care provider to discuss next steps after the reopening of your wound.

Usually because the strain on the skin becomes too much for the stitches to take.
