    What kind of stitching do you have on your incisions? And also, how long on average do they take to heal? I should of asked my surgeon but I forgot! Xxx

    Ive got dissolvable stitches. Im 11 days post op, i had dressings changed at 8 dsys and will have stitches trimmed at 15 days.

    I had dissolvable ones too. Had my op last Friday and had my steri-strips/dressings removed on Friday. My incisions had healed so well I didn’t need any trimming or re-dressing but obviously have a long way to go. I would imagine full healing takes a while. A friend of mine said 3months on she would still worry slightly that when she reached too far the scars may re-open but I don’t think the would have done 🙂 xx

    Haha maybe, but covered in blisters from the strapping – you win some, you lose some :-/
