Hello, I had my operation, breast lift, lollipop, 17th April (3days ago). Doctor told me everything went well, no complications. There wasn't much bleeding through the breast drains as I've been told by doctors checking on me. As each day passes less and less pain, and was doing short walks around the hospital ward on the 18th & 19th. When should stitches be removed, mine are not dissolvable.
