Is the scar worse for dissolvable stitches vs. non dissolvable?

Asked By:nubod23

I'm scheduled for a breast augmentation. My surgeon said he uses dissolvable sutures. This is a primary breast augmentation using Mentor moderate extra profile with possibly a 400CC implant with an inframammary incision. I breastfed two kids and have little breast tissue.
