Is it common to have spot bleeding from self dissolving stitches, after a combi tuck, for several months?

November 29, 2014
Asked By:oxford1 in Oxford, MI

I have been having a problem for 3 months and the surgeon keeps telling me this is normal. I am very concerned and feel it is going on too long. Can you tell me if this is normal or are my concerns justified?
