Regular Member vik0809 Posted March 21, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted March 21, 2008 am due for staple removal next week. As I live miles away from dr. wong's clinic, any suggestions as to where I could go for staple removal ? I live alone, hence no options at home, also I have'nt told my friends about it !!

Senior Member Rambler Posted March 21, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted March 21, 2008 vik, I did mine myself. Dr. Wong did give you a staple remover right? It's not really that hard to do yourself if you have a swinging medicine cabinet mirror and a large vanity mirror in your bathroom where you can see all the way around your head? I also took my time. Do 10-20 or so, take a break, do 10 more etc.. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Rambler, Then you are one of the crazy few like me who removed your own staples . I'm not sure how you did your own, but I have a tri-fold mirror in the bathroom that enabled me to see all the way around my head. It took over an hour, but I was glad to have them out. Vik0809, Staples are very easy to remove and truthfully anyone can do it. Your significant other, a friend, family member, etc can do this for you. Of if you are more confortable, make an appt with your local physician and he/she can remove them for you. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Rambler Posted March 21, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted March 21, 2008 Bill, Yeah it wasn't that hard and at 7 in the morning I had no one to do it and was soooo ready to get them out. I just took them one by one and it took a while like you said. vik, If you must do it yourself it is possible, just take your time. They come out very easy and painlessly. You might catch a hair or two which does sting but other than that ... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
