What Can I Do About Stitch Spitting and Absess when the Sutures Are . . . Yes it is “proper” to use non-dissolvable sutures Sometimes this is done to avoid spreading of tissues such as areola after surgery Unfortunately, these non-dissolvable sutures can be more problematic than dissolvable sutures If you continue to experience problems that you described and demonstrate, the sutures may need to be removed
Are spitting sutures common? Why do some patients get them . . . - RealSelf These sutures may be seen to be “spitting” out of the wound As everyone is different, this may not always be the case True allergic reactions are rare, but they can happen Please see your plastic surgeon for appropriate treatment For spitting sutures, your plastic surgeon will usually be able to take these out as they get to the surface
How Long Should Facial Stitches Be Left In? - RealSelf In my opinion leaving sutures on the face in for twelve days is too long By seven days the wound has developed approximately 8% the tensile strength of intact skin This is strong enough (along with any buried absorbable sutures) so that the non-absorbable sutures (the ones you can see) can be safely removed
Suture (Stitch Thread) Remaining After Surgery is Ok? - RealSelf Many sutures are made of material that the body breaks down and absorbs over time, so even if they are left in place, they may dissolve This depends on the type of suture and where it is located During facelift procedures, sutures are also placed under the skin to hold the muscle layers in place, and these sutures may be permanent in some cases

What Causes the Body to Reject the Stitches? - RealSelf Infection: Sometimes, an infection can develop around the sutures, causing the body to react and push the sutures out to prevent further complications Body’s healing response: In some cases, the body sees the stitches as a foreign object and tries to expel them as part of the healing process
Difference Between Types of Stitches for Facelift? - RealSelf Buried sutures in some places tend to produce better healig that sutures placed in an over- over fashion However sutures must sometimes be placed individually in very tricky areas such as the earlobe, especially if the earlobe is being changed and reconstructed
Permanent and Visible Sutures for Tummy Tuck: Normal? - RealSelf Typically, plastic surgeons use permanent sutures for the muscle plication portion of the procedure These sutures are placed internally to tighten and reshape the abdominal muscles However, for the tummy tuck incision, dissolvable sutures are commonly used These sutures are not visible externally over time as they dissolve on their own
Bumps at each suture entry exit across left eyelid after . . . - RealSelf The sutures appeared to be pulling out and were visible externally all along the scar I saw my surgeon on day 9 and he thought it was fine 2 days later the sutures were coming udone and were like pieces of dental floss hanging on my lid so I pulled them out (they were no longer tied or knotted)
