rrf personal question/ internal stitches

hey soooo im going to call the dr about this but thought i would ask here too.

soo i can still feel internal stitches under my skin; especially round the areaolas. they dont bother me and im not worried about it, but... they told me at six weeks i was cleared to do errr 'anything i wanted' with them as in, err sexually.

im just wondering how much stres these incisions can take if there are still stitches right under the skin, i dont want to damage anything internally. im sure my dr will be able to tell me but im curious what you guys think. they wre feeling ok and so i cautiously maybe err used them a little too much and now they are a little sore and itchy and spiky feeling. my feeling is not to do that anymore right now but i guess i should call the dr and ask.

definitely dont want to do any damage but had the impression they felt i would be ok by this point. just wondering what happened with other lift peeps and how long it took for your incisions to get to full strength and your stitches to dissolve. really appreciate any thoughts

My scars took a lonnnnnnnnnnnng time babe to fully heal, it didn't stop me having fun though... rule of thumb - If it hurts STOP! and that's about it as far as looking after your new boobs now... if you find you suffer any pain, tell your man to maybe be a little more gentle for a while, then away you go again to rty them out till you suffer no discomfort.

You might also be on the look out for split stitches, these are stitches that wriggle their way up to the surface long after your outter stitching has gone. If you find one, just keep an eye on it for a couple of days, it may well fall out all on it's own, but sometimes, it can cause a little opening in the skin and if this happens or it appears to be red or sore, then you just need to call your clinic nurse to have the stitch snipped, the hole closes almost immediately after that, but note also that if any holes do appear the no moistures rule will again apply to that area as any opening will make you prone to infection sweetie, so get get the stitch snipped. xx

It has been 3 months and i still feel mine. I have even had 3 to come out and had my doc to snip them and that hurt, he was not gentle and said I could have done that at home. I do have one lump on my areola and it feels like a stitch. You can see it on my skin. My doc told me that the stitches are dissolvable so im not sure about mine but do fully intend to ask him later this month when i go back to see him.

hmm thanks guys. // yes i have a few weird little lumps too here and there specially under the nips that are in weird places! im guessing they must be stitches... //

it seems from what im reading internal stitches can take months or more to fully dissolve so i will see what the dr says.... //

also honestly cookie i still dont really feel comfortable with moisture.. still haven't taken any baths or put anything on the scars. it just doesn't totally feel comfortable yet though they seem mostly closed. // guess i will still keep taking it slow, its so hard to wait after 18 yrs!! @@

hazleyes i like your new avi pic. ^^

I haven't had mine done yet,but my PS said I would have a permanent internal stitch, so I'm guessing you will always feel it because they never take it out. I'm wondering if maybe you have one of these? Not sure though because I won't really know what it feels like until i have it done! xxx
