Should I be worried about having staples used with a breast reduction?

February 5, 2014
Asked By:gooballaba in Oregon

I had a consult for a breast reduction and one thing that scared me was he uses staples under the breast crease. I am freaking out about scaring. He is coming very highly recommended to me but I don't know what to do. He retires in 4 months and so would only be around 3 months after my surgery. They say someone is looking into buying the practice but that is all. Nothing is set in stone. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!!
