How do i tell if my staples are ready to come out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask ;surgeon: Staples are ready for removal when the wound/incision has healed enough to stay together on its own. This takes longer over stress points. Your surgeon probably has a time table for your particular incision and has made an appointment for that date.
