9 months post-op- Is it normal to still be "spitting" stitches only on one side with a thigh lift?

Asked By:jmrose in Shelbyville, Tennessee

9 months ago, I had an arm lift, breast implants, and a thigh lift done at the same time. Everything was healing fine but then I did a little too much and ripped the stitches on my left thigh. I had to go get the area restitched and have them removed a week or so after. Approx. 3 months after surgery, the left side started "spitting" stitches. I have pulled 10-12 full stitches out every few weeks since then. 3 just this week. Everything else healed fine. Is this normal?
