    Hey girlies anyone else had this? I’m 4 weeks PO and there’s one stitch poking out at the end of each incision!! It’s not irritating or anything but I’ve seen a couple of girls on here get a little infection even at six weeks from a stitch that hasn’t dissolved :/ xxx

    One of my incisions looks fine to the eye but when I touch it it’s really bumpy and lumpy…did yours start like this? Xxx

    I have 2 little white strands poking out the side of my incision on my left breast. Its annoying but not painful or anything, I think i’m just going to leave it to fall out by itself. I’m 3 weeks post op and my scars are looking great! Hardly any bumpiness or redness. Very happy:)) xx
