Brando...I would totally recommend the dissolvable stiches. Mine seemed to stay in a little longer than 2 weeks...maybe 3 weeks or so. But when they started falling out, they came out fast. Like in one or two days. It looked like small pieces of fishing line falling out of my hair. As for my scar, I realy don't have a clue what it looks like. You can't see it at all. I guess the only way would be for me to shave my head. (I suppose if you ran your hand up the back of my head, you might can see it.) But I had no adverse affects from the dissovable ones. It's interesting that Social is making 2 follow up visits to Dr. Cooley. When I had my first surgery 2 years ago, I didn't go back at all. They told me to call if I have any problems...which I did not. I'll find out tomorrow if they want me to come back this time.
I'll post tomorrow night about my experience. (unless I'm high on valium)
