Staples

So they used staples for my incisions? Did anyone else have staples? And if so how are the scars looking?

    Sorry I don't have an answer for you.

    However I wish I had staples. My skin is sensitive and having issues with what was used to close me up on Aug 8th. I'm guessing staples would have been better for my skin. Now I get to keep cleaning these holes and wait as these open wounds heal. [emoji25]

    I didn't have Staples, they used that surgical glue on me with the steri-strips on me.

    I don't have a good answer for you about scarring and staples, but my scars aren't bad. Just depends on how your body heals and if you scar easily.
