    I have glue, and I am so happy they use glue instead of stitches. The scars should be less noticeable when they heal. I included a picture of my incisions in my '2 Day Post Op' post if you want to tak

    Glue and those steri strip things for me too. It's 5 days post op for me and the steri strips are getting loose. The doctor said to just let them come off on their own.

    I hope my surgeon uses glue. When I meet with him I'm going to ask if he will. Staples look so itchy and painful.

    Glue and strips. No issues with them and you can hardly see the scars now!
