Suture Removal

You may notice increased discomfort 3-4 days after the surgical procedure. As the tissues begin to heal, they may pull against the sutures and dressing. You may choose to take some form of pain medication one hour prior to your suture removal appointment to minimize tenderness.

If you are a patient for whom Antibiotic Pre-Medication is required take your prescribed antibiotics 1 hour prior to your suture removal appointment
