Will Stitching Incision Site After Tumescent Lipo Hinder Drainage and Prolong Swelling?
danielle7Jul 20, 2012
I am having tumescent lipo of abdomen, posterior waist and bra line. My doctor chooses to loosely stitch the incision sites. I worked for a PS that left the incisions open. I am so afraid that the stitches will hinder drainage and cause prolonged swelling. What benefit, if any, is there to the loose stitches ? I am hoping for a reassuring answer here : ) Thank you for your time !
