Surgical glue to close incisions?

[nakole73 34]

I am allergic to all types of adhesives. My doc suggested using surgical glue to close my incisions. Has anyone else had just surgical glue to close their outer incisions? How did they or are they healing?

I do. I'm three 1/2 weeks out and they're slowly healing. My friend had regular stitches and hers are gone. Mine are still gluey

That's what I had. No issues at all!

It took me about 3 1/2 weeks to heal and the glue came off as I started washing it more in the shower.

Had the glue also no issues with it.

@@nakole73 I had glue. I know they are invisibly sutured also. The glue has come off one of them and it is doing fine. The other are starting to lift a bit (had surgery July 12). I had told my surgeon I wanted to be able to bathe and they told me the glue would allow me to do that. I'm trying to just let them wear off. Today was the first day I was able to bend over without my largest incision hurting me.

I had the glue and it as fine... Looked a little funky as it started coming off, though:)

It was fine though

Glue and invisible stitches for me as well, and they're healing quite nicely. My surgery was on the 9th.

My doctor used the surgical glue and I was allergic to it. After the glue fell off it itched horribly, and I developed red bumps around all my incisions. I had to by anti-itch cream. It went away after a week.
