Hi there, please may i have some advice. I have had a consultation with my surgeon of choice but he has told me that he uses staples to close a TT? Is this good/normal practice? Frankly I hate the idea anddits putting me off using him. What do you think?

Answer: Staples not used in tummy tuck Most plastic surgeons do not use staples to close a tummy tuck as it leaves unsightly scars such at staple tracks. I recommend a subcuticular closure with slowly absorbable sutures. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Staples to close a tummy tuck While staples can be used to close a tummy tuck incision, they are less common than regular suturing. Staples can leave permanent marks and are sometimes painful to remove. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon.
