Is it normal? is It going to heal by itself? Also I want to know how my other incision look. It seems that some of the stitches came off and its healing. I had my surgery done on 6/6/13
Answer: String coming out of my incision
It looks like you have a "spitting" suture that just needs to be removed or trimmed by your surgeon. Typically the deeper sutures dissolve on their own but sometimes they don't so your body is working it out and basically pushing it to the surface. ac

Answer: I can see a string on my incision
What you see there is a suture that is supposed to dissolve over the first 2-3 months after surgery. In this case, and this is not uncommon, the body didn't dissolve it quickly enough and so it is "spitting" it out. You can see that it isn't infected as there isn't any redness around it. If you call your surgeon they remove it for you.
