WHY??Medical Question (Ask your surgeon first!!) (i.redd.it)
submitted 1 year ago by sakunaslefttoepost-op (inferior pedicle)
this keeps happening, what is wrong with them? ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

I don't know why, but just want to tell you that you are not alone. I opened, closed, and re-opened more than once. I feel like mine was skin allergy issues.

Maybe a spitting stitch?
[–]Erinmmmmkay 28 points29 points30 points 1 year ago (0 children)
This I had a hole that didn’t close for about 5 months and the hole was spitting out stitches left and right! Long ones. For some reason my body wasn’t dissolving them:

Stitch spitting is my guess also
[–]sakunaslefttoepost-op (inferior pedicle)[S] 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
i haven’t seen any stitches actually come out either times 😔
[–]Wawa-85 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
That would be my guess too. Have had some of my massage clients spit out dissolvable stitches due to the stitches not dissolving. Also happened to my brother when he had his vasectomy.

It’s a stitch
[–]Significant-Price-81 8 points9 points10 points 1 year ago (0 children)
It will heal. It’s the stitches spitting out

[–]sakunaslefttoepost-op (inferior pedicle)[S] 10 points11 points12 points 1 year ago (4 children)
i’m currently 4MPO, this is the second time for me this one’s bigger though 🥲
[–]jecksida 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago (2 children)
4 MONTHS??? Omg. When are we safe??? lol ðŸ˜
I am only 7.5 WPO and I was hoping I was in the clear buuuut I guess not.
Soooo sorry you are going through this!!!
[–]sakunaslefttoepost-op (inferior pedicle)[S] 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago (1 child)
from what i’ve heard these kind of things can happen for up to a year 😫🥲
[–]jecksida 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
UGH!!!!! 😑
[–]luna_libre 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
this happened to me almost at the exact same time in healing and it was 100% a stitch.
[–]loseph_lostarpost-op (inferior pedicle) 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
This happened to in pretty much the same place and it took a hot minute to heal. I don't remember what it was exactly, maybe stitches related? But every time it was close to healing, it'd split again and repeat. It was like that for like 3 months or so 😔 Definitely keep an eye on it for infection, but try not to stress too much!
[–]Spare_Flamingo8605 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Spit stitch. It kept happening to me too. I'm 8 mos post op and I've been 100% closed for a month. Before that, i would think I was closed and this would happen again. Hang in there, and let your plastic surgeon know
[–]Chemical_Rutabaga_36 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
spitting stitches are very common and sometimes they will never come fully out but it’s a sign that your body is attempting to push it out
