Stitches, Staples or Glue?

[merrywait 0]

How were you closed up? If you had stitches or staples did they hurt coming out?

I am 11 days post op and I had glue, so I am not sure about the stitches or staples but I have had breast reduction surgery back in 2007 and had stitches and the removal wasn't bad at all. Good luck!

Hi,

I'm 13 days post op and I have glue on my incisions.

I had glue, also. And just like a previous poster, I had BR surgery with stitches and there was no pain when they were taken out.

I'm glued...have had both stitches and staples prior...it does not hurt to have either removed!

I had staples. One incision got infected and it hurt a lot to remove the staples, but the others were easy - no pain.

I had stitches and glue on my incisions. It did not bother me at all when my dr. removed my stitches...just a little sting on a couple of them.

I have stitches.... and my doctor doesn't plan to see me again or remove them until the 18th.... that's 20 days post surgery. Should I worry?

*off topic..... how do I get my fancy new weight ticker to display with each post?

Glue, and I wished he'd done stitches. I have just a single incision through my belly button. It closed 6 weeks post op, but popped back open again a week later from too much activity. That was 13 weeks ago, and I still have an opening the size of a large needle. No infection, no problems, just constant leakage of fluids. The Dr said it happens to some, and Im just one of the "lucky" people to experience it. Yay...

I had stitches...but they dissolved on their own. I guess that's the best of both worlds!

I had the dissolving sutures and glue and then steri-strips over that which came off on their own within 2 weeks. I had my first fill yesterday and the skin below the port incision is still numb so I didn't feel a thing.
