Stiches

[cool525]

Hi guys, at 7months post surgery, I have quite encouraging results on my 2nd transplant so far. However, the second surgery used stitches that were considerably finer/thin. Though one weird thing, about 3 months post I had some little stitches re-appear on my head and consequently got them removed ... at that time I thought maybe they were left out forgotten during the normal stitch removal process. However, now at 7 months post transplant, at a different spot on my head, one or two stitches have re-appeared that are bothering me.

 

I plan to go next friday, to have that taken care, though is the stitches resurfacing on head so late normal?

I also had some stitches "resurface" around month 3 and 4. I was told that they are internal stitches that can sometimes work their way out. It seemed a little odd to me as you would think they would have been dissolved by then, but I have had no issues since they were removed. Annoying to deal with though for sure.
