Had 2nd post op

They are unlikely to become embedded steph and the sutures you obviously have are the type that disintegrate into the tissues otherwise your consent would have given you an injection of local anaesthetic to remove them. Trust her she wouldn't leave them if she thought they would do you any harm. Think of sutures that are used internally for any operation, that will be the type used. The ones that must dissolve are the sutures that are very thick. 

Hi Steph, had my post op at 3 months and said I could feel something deep inside. It was confirmed that there was a long stitch. I was told it would dissolve. Nonetheless I phoned my surgeon who confirmed that she never uses permanent stitches and the long one (or more than one?) left inside she uses 'for the scarring' .....I assumed to prevent scarring. She told me it would not become embedded at all and I had no cause for any concern but it would dissolve in the next few weeks. I feel better knowing this. I hope this helps 😊
