I am almost 1 month Breast Lift (NO IMPLANT) post-op, reversed T scars. spitted several stitches on week 3 for a period of 4 days and were trimmed by my PS yesterday. 1 under my breast, 1 at meeting point between areola and vertical scar at left breast and many on right areola direct. So I had several on both breasts already. Should I be prepared for some more? when this period of spitting stitches ends, usually ?
