NiftyNinjanator 51 Posted September 5, 2013 I feel lucky not to have staples, just some super glue that keeps boogering up and falling off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Debbie3sons 1,936 Posted September 5, 2013 I thought they didn't use staples for anything any more for anything I thought they used the tape or glue or even used the disolving stitches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adrienne21 106 Posted September 5, 2013 They left mine on for almost three weeks. It was really painful having them removed too. I wish my doctors did not use the staples because not only was it painful having them taken out but I have little scars from the staples. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
