My doctor is using this new thing called pravena where the put the staples and then cover it with this clear sticky film and attached to it is a tube and a machine and it is suppose to suck out all the moisture from the incision to keep it from gettin an infection and to help it heal faster. I hate it so much. I asked them to used steri strips and they told me that this new way was better and refused to use the strips. I get it taken off on Monday so hopefully this new thing helped instead of making things worse.

WOW! They shouldn't be hurting, I haven't heard that before😁 I was with my cousin when she got hers removed they looked nasty......😳😷 I think they should use a thick surgical tape that dissolves in layers until the skin heals
