Hello I had a tummy tuck about a year and a half ago. I have sutures coming out of my stomach. I’m having to go to the doctor to have them pulled out. Is that normal?

Answer: Tummy tuck 1 year post op Dear Sensible504452, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Answer: Sutures You may have some permanent sutures that are spitting which is very uncommon. Rarely, someone's dissolvable sutures do not dissolve and they also work out over time.
