October 24, 2012
Asked By:Megg30

I'm not a native english-spoken so sorry in advance for my writting. I had a breast reduction with implants and tummy tuck 5 weeks ago. Everything seems to be perfect but since 1 week ago I start spitting stitches and there's some small holes now. Today I saw my PS and told me That this areas need Debridement and be suture again so make the healing fast. I'm on antibiotics now. So this "cleaning" and closing is a good idea?
