hi all

Im getting my implants in on the breast crease and i have very little body fat or breast tissue and getting 360cc medium profile silicone implants roughly how many stitches do you think i will have

what are the stitches like getting out. I had 7 under my arm when i had lymph node removed and it was hell getting them out and i had stables after my section but that was so easy getting them out

thanks

Usually they are disolvable stitches nowadays, have you been told your not having those? My surgeon told me my incision will be approx 4cm long either side.

yeah ive been told i need to go in day 6 to have my stitches removed.

how are you feeling today are you nervous xx

by ciantwo 27th November 2012, 9:55 am

Hopefully someone who had them removed can give you some advice :)

Yeah my stomach keeps doing flips when I really think about it lol!

I'm still on the train atm, don't have to be there till 12 so sometime this afternoon. I am an overnighter so no rush really lol

The stitches should be easily removed. Definately no worse than staples!!

I think the armpit is a really sensitive area to have them removed from and with hair follicles there too makes it a bit trickier.

Iv got disolvable stitches but iv had the knot left on the outside so im going this morning to get them checked/removed. It's usually just one continuous stitch that they use :)

I had dissolvable ones so can't help there what it feels like. But my scars are really small maybe over inch and half to two inches and considering the size of the implant it's quite amazing !! Shocked

thanks all im so worried about all the small things it sometimes takes the excitement of my new boobies away, did any of you feel that way xx

by tinkerbell24 27th November 2012, 10:18 am

hope the day goes fast for you xx

I wasn't worried about scars, or the little things I was just focusing on having nice boobs and the reason why i was getting them done. Focusing more on the outcome and the result will take your mind of worrying about the little things.

thats really true im not worried about the scars sorry meant getting my stitches out, just ever since my horrific last op which was my section im so worried, but i know im going to be fine xx

by **COOKIE** 27th November 2012, 11:33 am

I really wouldn't worry about this hun. The scar is minimal and the nurses take great care to ensure you're comfortable and don't feel anything. They're so gentle and caring and this is one part of the recovery I'd say is nothing lovely, absolutely nothing at all to worry about Hug

:thumbs: xx

by Cazzyxo 27th November 2012, 12:57 pm

Tinkerbell I'm pretty sure it will be just one continuous stitch in each so don't panic xox

by tinkerbell24 27th November 2012, 1:01 pm

does that mean that they will just "hopefully" pull in once and it will come out scar sizes 588945

thinking about it lol lol xx

by **COOKIE** 27th November 2012, 1:48 pm

Lol. Put it out of your mind Tinkerbell. It's really nothing at all to be worried about. If it was I'd say so hun because I believe we should all be realistic and prepared, but this part of your recovery isn't anything at all to have concerns whatsoever about. Xx

by Cazzyxo 27th November 2012, 1:51 pm

All out in one yes. But they will most likely be disolvable and you'll jus need the knot snipping off. If your worried ask your PS. I had it done today. Pain free took no time at all. Don't over think it :)

by tinkerbell24 27th November 2012, 1:53 pm

aw thank you xx

TBH doll, I had disolvables, but the undersides of my boobies were numb for about 2 months or more, so I doubt you'd even feel them being removed! Just put it out of your head, it's definitely nothing to worry about scar sizes 571992

Hi Tinkerbell, I've got dissolvable stitches so can't help much on how much it will hurt to get them removed. But I got my dressings changed for the first time on Monday at 10 days post op and I was dreading it, I actually couldn't feel a thing as I am still numb. So it was a whole lot of worrying for nothing! Nurse said I'm healing well and my scars are around 5cm long, pretty amazing what they can squeeze in through such a small incision.

Just try not to worry about it too much as you will have beautiful boobies once its all over and done with xx

Hi Tinkerbell. I had mine removed today - one continuous stitch and you just feel a slight tug. Nothing for you to worry about x
