arthritis_me 12 Posted January 9, 2013 Are these glued and stiched or just glued wounds? I was wondering if glue left less scar, maybe that's why they use it alone. Has anyone had their scars heal up so well they can't tell they had surgery? I'd love to see one/two years out scars. Just wondering if when I get that slim again if I could ever wear a bikini again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigTXChris 13 Posted January 9, 2013 I was glue less in 5 days. Itching sucks I had it then it went away but now it's back right around my belly button action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vickielynn72 1 Posted January 9, 2013 My doctor said apply neosporin after two weeks. and that will take the dermabond (glue) off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jwhite692 10 Posted January 9, 2013 It's finally starting to fall off! So it's not itching as much... Doctor said about 10-14 days it will all be gone. Cuts are almost completely healed :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms.AntiBand 2,984 Posted January 9, 2013 I had glue without issues. No itching or scabs, just a fine line at each site. Too bad the effort was wasted on a no-return-10lb- baby- x's 3-belly of stretch marks ... Think that's right lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReduceReuseRecycle-Me! 119 Posted January 10, 2013 My incisions were glued shut and steri strips were applied over them. I had no "glue" issues, such as the glue having to fall off or anything. I was cleared to shower right away, no scrubbing and the steri strips would gradually fall off. Now, as for itching, OMG. I have six incisions and five of them have red blisters around them that itch like the dickens. I use Cortisone topically and take Benedryl capsules when I go to bed. I don't itch them because I don't want them to get worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doreen70 268 Posted January 10, 2013 I didn't get dermabond because of my adhesive allergy. My friend had surgery the week before me, ad also is allergic to adhesive. She had a horrible reaction. Our surgeon opted to not use glue on me. So I went home 24 hrs later with six incisions, with no staples, sutures, or steri-strips. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
