I had my one week post op today and had my dressings changed. I had 300cc HP unders with a modified mastopexy. I was under the impression that the modified mastopexy bit meant the top of the nipple would be cut in a crescent shape and moved up but when my dressings were removed it turns out I’ve had a full donut incision around my nipple and the whole things been stitched back on with removable stitches that will be removed next week. I don’t think I was mentally prepared for that. Basically just wanted to rant as it really wasn’t what I was expecting. Has anyone had removable stitches before I never have..what does it feel like to have them removed and does it hurt?? The thought of it makes me feel a little sick.
On the upside, everything’s healing very well. I’ll just have more scarring than originally expected.
