Breast surgery, why is there thread at the incision edge - Baidu

Hello, after breast surgery, the wound is usually sutured layer by layer. The muscle tissue, subcutaneous loose connective tissue, subcutaneous fascia, skin, etc. are sutured layer by layer. There are threads at the incision. During the suturing with the subcutaneous tissue, the threads are not completely cut.

As for leakage on the skin surface, absorbable catgut is currently used as the main suture line in clinical practice. It can be absorbed by itself after a period of time, so don't worry too much.
