    Are they dissolvable ones hun?? My nurse snipped the ends off mine when I got my dressings taken off, and I didn’t really see them at all other than that. I think some surgeons use ones that have to be taken out though? Maybe call your clinic and speak to the nurse – it’ll be fine I’m sure. But just speak to the nurse to check it out and put your mind at Ease! x

    IT’s normal hun, sometimes they just a while to dissolve totally, give your nurse a call anyway, sometimes they like to clip them to avoid infection x
