See a Plastic Surgeon Instead

The procedure itself went fine, no complications. Stitches were left in for 14 days, standard is 7. This delays recovery & prolongs discomfort. No follow-up appointments until stitches are removed. Recovery is monitored through selfies instead. Stitches are absorbable, so expect some to fall out before your next visit. My scars are much larger than is typical, because the stitches were larger. Incisions were placed higher than my natural crease & are terribly visible. Doctor seems more concerned with ensuring incisions don’t open early than minimizing the appearance of scars, which is very unfortunate.
