I have a small hole on my left side with what, my dr thinks is a disolvable stitch that clearly has not disolved. It not infected tho so we are just letting my body reject it at its own pace. I have an app with an aussie ps Apr 10th so i will get him to check all my niggling bits and pieces. Love mt gp BUT she is a ps.

I have 3 stitches that are left in my eyes after the eyelid lift. Again just keeping an eye on it. Any sign of redness or swelling or pain i had to go see her. Good news is 1 just fell out yesterday all on its own. Im hoping that the one on my side will do the same. Fingers crossed anyway!

Nope. Both my ps and doc dont like to cover. I do still wash my incisions with anitbactrial soap every day.

Jules, it cant be stitch my hubby is helping me use butterfly bandaids to close it, just a open spot right on my incision, I had jury duty today so tired , I'll post pics of it tomorrow it scared me more than anything due to all the blood, going to give it a few days to heal up if not the 2 hour trip to PS, so hoping it will close on it's own. I believe it will !
