Staples Removed - Timing
Posted , 8 users are following.
I go for 2 week post-op appointment next Thursday. I've been assuming that the staples will be removed. Just read an article that mentioned staples out "after several weeks". Is 2 the new several? 😛 Incision looks good. Just stopped bandage today as no more drainage - there had only been very minimal drainage since procedure. Just don't want to go with an expectation and be disappointed.

hi etta,
weird that they didn't tell you .... 2 weeks post-op is usually the time when staples are removed, depending on schedule of clinic (I guess) - mine were removed at outpatient office by Surgeons assistant - My scar (s) were nicely healed and ry except for 2 little holes at either end - I preferred to have a dressing on it because of sensitive scar ----
oh, what a relief - a milestone for sure
big warm hug

Yes I had mine out at 2 weeks, well that is I had 18 out at 2weeks and the other 18 out about 5 days later.
Hope you get on ok

Thanks all for the feedback. The article I read was from a medical site - not related to my healthcare provider. I'm optimistic. Incision looks good.
