I had a breast aug a year ago in March and have another scheduled next month. For some reason my body does not like dissolving stitches and I had a pretty big one fester up and then I realize there is a scab on it so I washed the area with hibiclens and applied germ shield on it. I’ve had (4) surgeries in the last two years 3 of them because I got an infection after the original surgery and I am just scared at this point. Also my nipple is not normal I know due to complications.

Answer: Stitches If your dissolvable sutures are not dissolving or taking a long time to dissolve, or you have permanent sutures close to the skin, these can try to dissolve and could become infected.

Answer: Is it common to be spitting stitches a year after a breast augmentation? Can it cause an infection? (photos) Thank you for sharing your question and photograph and I am sorry to hear of your healing difficulties. Although it would be rare, it is possible to have a suture spit at a year after surgery if your body was unable to break it down. Best to discuss treatments with your surgeon and should future surgery be needed, a different suture material should be used.
