stitches to be removed?

Hi girls.
I haven’t been told if I have absorbing stitches or not, but I was wondering if anyone had their stitches removed?
My incisions were healing well but because of my stitches are scratching my bra and they get hanging on the bra, my incisions stars to hurt. I am having my 6 weeks appointment end of this week but I was wondering is this the moment when my stitches should be removed or the nurse was supposed to remove them earlier?

Am having mine removed on Wednesday and I will be two weeks po, although I didn’t have mine done at mya. X hope this helps x

Annelize I was told I had dissolvable stitches and we were same day same surgeon??.

I have dissolvable stitches tooxx but I’m going for mine trimmed today did you have your trimmed at 2 weeks ? Xx

I only saw someone at 1 week and due to see. Nurse today 6 weeks post op

A question I wondered about as I have anchor incisions and have stiches galor that haven’t disolved and look like they are preventing the scabs falling. ..I’m 4 weeks po

I had dissolvable stitches, I’m 12 days po and I have an appointment for Friday if they still haven’t gone, which they haven’t up to now, give them a call and tell them that you’re stitches are still in. Xx

most people have dissolvable stitches 🙂 mine have gone quite well as far as i’m aware! i’m 3 weeks post op today xx

I thought I had dissolvable too but they are definitely not! They are hard and scratchy

Mine are too AnnElize and clear…. mine are disposable but stubborn lol

I had them trimmed at 6 weeks because I asked for it. Unfortunately the place where they scratched my skin is not looking very well compared to the rest of the incision. I should have had them trimmed sooner but I wasn’t advised about this. Lack of communication…
