Out of town patients, when are sutures removed?

Out of town patients, when are sutures removed?

Postby Rilian » Mon Apr 27, 2009 4:19 pm

In your video about chin implant recovery video, you mention stitches are removed about 7 days after the procedure. I assume this means out-of-town patients should plan to remain in Texas for at least 7 days? Or is there another alternative for patients to leave earlier?

yes, 7 days. i prefer to use non-reactive sutures so i prefer not to use dissolvables. i would really prefer you stay 7 days to have them removed.
best,
