Is it acceptable for a doctor to staple dressings to a patient during a breast reduction surgery?

I was shocked to hear a residents explanation of why my niece had bloody soars that looked like scabies or small insect bites all over her under arms and down near her belly button. He said staples were used to keep the dressings from moving. I'm thinking this goes against the physicians oath to do no harm.
