Healing of Stapler Circumcision wound
I had undergone stapler circumcision before 16 days and i can see some swelling around the site of circumcision and I can visibly see stapler pins on the line. Is it normal in the healing process and need to know how long will it take the stapler pins and silicone ring to fall off.

It usually comes off in 10-14days, and mild swelling can be present which also resolves within 2 weeks

usually staplers fall off their own around 14th day of the procedure.sometimes, some of them may remain which usully fall off within another 1 wk. I would suggest you to wait for another week and if staples persist even after that you may visit your operating surgeon fo manual removal of staplers. the procedure is usualy painless/ minimally painful.
Next Steps
wait for 1 more week. these should fall off by their own within that period. if not visit operating surgeon.
