Is 2 weeks too long to leave stitches in after a breast lift?

Asked By:jrv1125

I had a 7 day post-op follow up appointment and my PS had an emergency and wasn’t able to see me. I had to reschedule an appointment 7 days later since she is only there on Wednesday’s. Is two weeks post-op too long to wait or is it no big deal?
