STITCH LEFT!

i had dissolvable stitches and had the ends cut about 5 days ago by the nurse, on one side theres still a little bit sticking out.

is this normal? will it go on its own? i can feel it coz it catches on clothes every now and then x

ive had 3 stitches pop out hun 1 at 5 weeks 1 at 6 and 1 at 8, each time leaving a small hole i wouldnt worry, it should come out on its own and heal where it came out from. the first one even bleed with me and i was worried but kept it covered for a day or two and it was fine xx

so it should just fall out itself then you think, i dont fancy pulling it. may hurt n id worry all my incision would come undone haha

are the stiches all individual then? i assumed it would be all one long stitch going in and out across the hole of my incision (if that makes sense). then again ive never had stitches lolx x

im not sure how we are stitched but some just migrate outwards for some reason, i kept playing with mine (couldnt help myself lol) they just fell out then, i think my wounds healed better once they were out to be honest xx

ah well hopefully it’ll make its own way out – panic slightly over lol

thanks xx

Leanne l have this at the moment. l have one at the borrom of my nipple my hubby cut it off slightly,one at the bottom of my horizontal scar really worried but seeing my surgeon on Sunday. Yesterday l had a bit of yellow like earwax on the same areas of my bra. This afternoon when l took my bra off l had anothger bit of yellow on my other boob scar on the bottom. horizontal scar looks more bumpy today. WHAT TO DO! Hell Sunday feels such a long wait but lf l see my nurse tomorrow its another long trip for like 5 min. xxx

if you remember let me know wot she says, whether they need ot come out or left alone lol

yeah i know im so fed up of driving 40 mins there to see some one for 5 mins xx

I had this ladies! My dissolvable stitches just would NOT dissolve! I have to say I couldn’t help playing with mine and they just kind off, came out (I may have given a little tug-but only a little one!) and, as nikki, said, it healed up fast with no bleeding at all. I then had a couple at the bottom of my nipple, like you vicky, where the stitches were under the skin and I could see it going a bit yellow/green underneath. I went to see the nurse and she told me it was the dissolvable stitches, she ‘popped’ it and this yucky gunk came out (see my pics if you’re brave enough!) It has healed up great now. So, what I am trying to say, in a round about way, is that it is normal and that yellow will most likely be the stitches. As long as your boob is not red, painful or hot to touch, it is not an infection. I had soo much bother with my stitches! But you will be fine ladies xxx

hi ladys im 3 weeks post op tomorrow and i had a apt with the nurse today ive also had stitches poping out and a loop stitch. my nurse cut the loop stitch and pulled it out. then she trimmed the ends off others that have popped out then covered them with steri strips. but they will dissolve in time. ive also had a bit of yellow like dry earwax that came off last week. and i was told if its dry its ok its all healing up x

yeah my nurse cut my ends but then that was it she just put a strip on it, so she didnt cut it down. ill leave them a few days and if it bothers me or keeps catching ill put a steri strip on it again xx
