I understand that internal sutures are needed to put all the tissue back together, and that typically permanent (polyblend or nylon or whatnot) sutures would be used for this. Sadly, I have had a reaction to every form of permanent suture, even nylon (I understand that this is almost unheard of. First time my surgeons had seen it.. autoimmune stuff) which required eventual removal. While I know internal healing takes longer, can the 6ish month absorbable stitches be effective for this procedure?
Answer: Permanent sutures for breast reduction Most surgeons do not use permanent sutures for a breast reduction. The sutures are not necessary for strength after the tissue heals. Discuss with a board certified plastic surgeon to find an appropriate strategy that works for you.

Answer: Sutures for breast reduction A breast reduction is typically closed with all absorbing sutures. This avoids any stitch marks and because there may be 2 or 3 layers of suturing there is support of the closure for 6-8 weeks ( until these sutures absorb ) which helps the overall scar appearance. Also steri strips tapes and eventually silicone tape and /or scar creams can help with the ultimate appearance of the scars.

Answer: Is it possible to do a breast reduction without using any permanent sutures? Dear Kathrynne,I have never used any type of permanent suture during a breast reduction surgery except occasionally for securing the drain, so they can easily be avoided. Often times problems with skin sutures stem from the antibiotic ointment used, skin adhesives, or infection like stitch abscesses so the problems are not always allergy to the suture itself. Regardless of the cause of your problem you should be able to avoid their use during a breast reduction.Good luck,
