    Hi I’m three weeks and still have some stitches that have yet to dissolve,
    The will check you dressing, it depends on how well your healing as to wether she’ll take them off or redress.
    When I was at mine she told how much longer I had to ware my Brest band, post op bra and how long I had to sleep at 45degress.
    If you’ve got any concerns noes the time to ask. At the end you’ll make a 6 week check up appointment.
    That’s how mine went. Hope it gives you an idea. Xx

    I was in for about 5 mins tops she just took the dressings off and told me to look in the mirror said they were looking fab and told me I could now have a proper bath and shower. I then booked an app to see my surgeon for 4 weeks time xx
