Got my Barbie butt on June 12th, have staples and stitches. The surgeon says usually he takes out some post-op week 2, then the remaining ones on week 3. But he is on vacation the entire 4th of July week, according to his scheduler (he told me he had Monday and Tuesday available, but she said he requested vacation those days). So they scheduled me for July 9th afternoon. Taking out all staples and stitches in one swoop, 4 weeks post-op. Is that "ok"? Won't they have healed over so I basically have to have mini surgery to get them out of the inside of my skin by then? That will hurt like hell. He didn't want to do 2 weeks post-op as that date was really only 10 days post-op, too soon.
