Full tummy tuck 7 years ago done with polypropylene internal stitches. I can feel and see the knots through my skin. Very irritating and uncomfortable. Already had to have one knot removed because it caused a foreign body to form around it. I would like to have them all removed in the future. I am SCARED. I have always regretted my TT, I am thin young and healthy but constantly ache and am very aware of the stitches everyday. I can feel pulling and aching. Please help.
