Asked By:CaliGali in California, MD

Getting my stitches out soon from BA periaerolar incision and is it normal for surgical nurses to take out the stitches? This is my first BA and I am just genuinely curious. I would like to speak with my surgeon and I have some questions for my dr but can only seem to get ahold of post-op nurses.
