Dear patient Surgical staplers are safe to use Staplers are used to close surgical incisions and wounds In fact , staplers have advantage over sutures ,quick placement and fewer infections (lower tissue reaction seen) Sutures and staplers leave a scar , depending upon how approximate the skin folds were held together..(only subcutical sutures have better cosmetic results)
Next Steps
apply any ointment containing silicon gel and vit c (eg  opexa gel ,hexilak ultra gel ) after consultation with your attending surgeon
