It depends on your surgeon (you can ask yours before the surgery). Ours glued our incisions & then used steri-strips. They're looking great!

I had staples - you can still see the little staple pin points around my scars.

Finally far enough out that they're looking better (i.e. the bruising is 99.9% gone):  | |

I think 5 is "normal", but a lot have 6. It depends on where your organs are inside, I think. I know for Mikey, he said he needed the 6th cut to be sure & get the port in the correct place & in solidly. I think it makes him look more symmetrical, lol. :)
