Q: Alternative for metal sutures used to close tummy Tuck sutures?
A:
There are a variety of ways to close a tummy tuck incision. This varies form surgeon to surgeon. I usually close my tummy tuck incisions with absorbable sutures that do not need to be removed. Talk to your surgeon about how /she plans to close your incsion. Let them know that you have an allergy to staples.
