I had breast reduction july 2022 using dissolvable staples. I had a lot of hypertrophic scarring and spitting staples and still feel the staples and see some where I had cortisone shot and the skin thinned. Is there any way to help them dissolve theyre still pretty intact.
I am 15 weeks post op and am wondering how long dissolvable staples and stitches take to actually dissolve. I saw my consultant this week who told me they will dissolve eventually but Im surprised I can still see them at this stage, is this normal? I massage my scars twice a day and they look ok but the bumps that are visible all along the horizontal scar lines are making me worry, shouldnt they be gone by now?
I had a reduction with mastopexy 2 1/2 weeks ago. The staples came out 4 days ago and was replaced with this steri strip. How long does this usually need to stay on? I want to wash my breast really good and put lotion on them.
I was shocked to hear a residents explanation of why my niece had bloody soars that looked like scabies or small insect bites all over her under arms and down near her belly button. He said staples were used to keep the dressings from moving. I'm thinking this goes against the physicians oath to do no harm.
I had breast reduction surgery a few years ago, and last week I had my first mammogram. They found a staple left in me. When I contacted the surgeon he said it was used for a blood vessle and it's ok to leave in. Is this ok?
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!!
I had br on 3/26..ps used dissovable staples..they are poking thru my incision and arond the aerola as well. I feel like i am on fire with these things..like i am being hit with a staple gun..they really hurt..except when lay down or hold breast tightly against my chest..taking the pressure off. What can do? Does he remove them? That sounds horribly painful...they get caught in my bra, my gauze etc..they seriously hurt..please any advice
