Post op – is it normal for stitches to be poking through at end of incisions?

Hi girls, I’ve just taken my steri strips of, I am 16 days post op today and incisions look fine but there is tiny bit of stitch poking out at end on both of them. Is this normal or will I have to go and see a nurse to sort it out? Panicking!

Thanks xx

Yea mine are like that with the knot outside. Yea the nurse said they eventually dissolve or drop off, one of mine came off yesterday in the shower. xx

Hi ladies

If you have any questions at all about any aspect of your procedure post-op please feel free to give the nurse a quick call and she can reassure you.

Many thanks
