Bill - Seemiller Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Take a Chance, Some donor area swelling can occur the first week. But if it extends past this or gets worse, be sure to speak to your surgeon. I'm a little surprised your sutures are coming out at 8 days post op. Usually its recommended to wait 10. As long as your doctor said to take them out at 8 days, I'm sure you will be fine. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Goldilocks Posted March 9, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted March 9, 2009 Were you prescribed prednisone? This helps with keeping the swelling down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
