The operation method is different, the thread used is different, and the time of thread removal is different. Head and face surgery usually takes 3 to 5 days, and chest and abdomen surgery takes 7 days. Chest and limbs 10 days, 12 days. The joint area may be 14 days.

But from the plastic surgery, because the thread and needle used are relatively thin, the time of thread removal is also closely related to the local tension. Whether the local area is infected or not and how it heals will determine the time of stitches removal. Generally, lip surgery is special, because the blood supply of the lip is rich, and the suture removal time is 5~7 days. The doctor will adjust the suture removal time according to the surgical method or surgical site, and the situation varies from place to place.

If the patient is older, the removal time may be delayed. If you have diabetes, it may also affect the healing of the incision. Therefore, the specific situation, generally according to the advice of the surgeon, can be removed on time.
