    Hey girls, just wondering if anyone has had problems with stitches left in?
    I’m 3WPO and had 300cc partial moderates. The anchor stitches are dissolvable but the nipple Ones are not. I’ve noticed a few stitches left in the nipple and now so worried they won’t come out as skin would have healed around them. Also I done the dreaded google and it says scarring can be worse if left in, and also risk of infection. I don’t want bad scars after paying all that money, especially as I feel it’s something that could have been avoided!

    Hi, this may sound silly to ask but are you 100% that they are not dissolvable? I had the same panic until I went for my check up and my nurse just clipped the ends and they vanished.. I am now 8 weeks post op and my scars are barely visiabel x
