Looking into mommy makeover with hernia but family member allergic to dissolvable sutures

May 5, 2023
Asked By:randomstuff088 in Abbeyville, Colorado

I'm looking at a tummy tuck, hernia repair, and breast augmentation. Why sutures are used? My sister had a breast augmentation with dissolvable sutures. Her body rejected them, a giant whole created in her boob, got infected. She had to live with that for a year before it was finally able to heal and be repaired. I'm terrified I may have a similar reaction. I don't want to get tummy tuck and have my body reject all the sutures. That.. i cannot imagine.
