Answer: I had a breast reduction almost 5 months ago. Are these spitting sutures normal? Spitting sutures are very common. Some sutures can take a year to dissolve. You should contact your surgeon to get into the office to have them removed.

Answer: I had a breast reduction almost 5 months ago. Are these spitting sutures normal? (Photo) Hello @Brazybee Thank you for your question and showing your pictures. I suggest you talk with your doctor right away. Is important to remember that the characteristics of the scar are associated with what happens as a patient (the healing process, scarring depends on the patient) and what your doctor can do as the healing process goes on. There are many things nowadays to be able to manage a scarring process. Technologies: laser, fixer, in products, substances, compressive attachments. For a breast reduction surgery the healing process takes between 9 to 12 months and in that time you need to be taking care of yourself d evaluated by your doctor regularly. I hope this shed some light. best wishes!
