Worried About Tummy Tuck Internal Corset Stitching Sutures?

June 24, 2013
Asked By:squats4fluff in Miami, FL

Hello, I experienced what's called spitting stitches with my breast lift and even had a small infection on one spot. My question is regarding the internal stitching used on the muscle corset or tissue and whether or not its as common to reject those sutures as well? Thank you in advance for your responses :)
