I’m getting a breast lift before the end of the year and I’m worried about suture spitting. I had a mole removed on my shoulder some years ago and I ended up with a big angry scar because of spitting. I explained this to my surgeon during the consult and she didn’t seem too concerned about it. She said she could give me injections to stop the spitting if it happens. My question is, how common is spitting and how will it affect my breast lift?
