Guest guest Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 I don't think your nylon sutures will cause this type of problem.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Thanks Lynda. I went on the tummy tuck site and was told that most surgeons will use dissolvable stitches in the muscle area. I need to go back through my report and see if I can figure that part out, just to make me feel better. But I think you are right about the sutures. It seems the body would break them down or isolate them somehow, etc. > >Hey Patty, > > > >I do worry about my tummy tuck now.
