Stitches came out today - one week after surgery. The doctor came in to evalutate the graft. He said it was taking nicely and the stitches could come out. The nurse took the stitches out. The doctor said that it was desirable for the graft edges to be become elevated after a few days. He said the color of the graft would most likely change to several colors over the next few days to weeks before it would take on the color of skin. I am to go back in 4 months to see if any smoothing techniques need to be done such as laser or dermabrasion. The picture is the day after the stitches came out. It is really gross looking. My mom and I went shopping anyways and had an awesome time. I kept it covered because no one wants to look at something so gross !!!
