Stitches
I'm 4 weeks post op today and just got out shower and checked my incisions and I have a stitch hanging out, all the others seemed to have dissolved. Obviously im not going to pull/cut it but i was wondering if it'll go on its own or on my next appointment they will do something with it.

Re: Stitches
Sometimes they wiggle their way out on their own, but if not then it's best to just have your clinic nurse snip it for you. If your next appointment is for your 6 week check then you may want to give them a call and see if they'd want you to come in earler to have the stich snipped.
Whist the stitch is there it means the stitch has created an opening in trying to get out (all normal) but until the stitch is out and the skin closed over which it does VERY quickly then it's best to use oils or moisturises there to avoid infection. xx
