If it was me I would just gently pull it out but I'm used to taking stitches out of my alpacas and other animals. Sorry I didn't mean to categorise you with my animals. lol

I had one poking out about 3 weeks after my tummy tuck. I just pulled it out, but then I used to be a nurse in a previous career!!

Then there it shall stay! Thankyou girls! I'm sure it will disappear eventually!

Yeah just leave it. My surgeon snipped one at the first check up I had with him. All good.

Hi Hayley

Just leave it, it will disappear on its own. Must be a signature of the Dr as I had one too. Luckily it was just before my post op appt so could get it checked by the dr. No probs with it.

So...... on closer inspection of one of my incisions, I'm thinking one of my stitches has come through! It is sticking up about a millimetre. I originally thought it was just a bit of a scab but in the light it is quite "plasticy" looking.

What do you think? Leave it alone? Or just see how it goes... All incisions look great, although when I think about it, this one is a little redder than all the others...

Just wondering....?
