  • what are those sheet/paper-looking things with the white zig-zag line going down them?

  • @hman9981 Those are Paper sutures, called steri-strips. They are used to approximate the skin incision after the operation is completed.

  • more of a question than a comment...this is exactly what i was diagnosed with...seems that it has grown 3x the size in about 4 years. im am 37 years old. I live in Maine. Would it be benificial to shop around for the best surgeon for a procedure of this magnatude...the surgeon i talked to seemed very comfident but there seems to be great risk. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  • I hope that you get your procedure done vhonlouise.
