Hi Doctors - what do you think of NOT using steri strips on areola incisions for breast implant surgery? One of my consultations said 'No steri strips, but absorbable sutures for both to stitch internal layers and to close under the skin (I don't do well with permanent sutures)", but other consultations said to put steri strips on the incisions. Any potential problems by NOT having them? Pros and cons of NOT having them? I am worry about the tension and the ability to hold the edges together.
