Stitch removals by a qualified healthcare professional ensure proper healing and care of the affected area and contributes significantly to a patient’s overall recovery as well as minimising any potential complications

What Can I Expect at My Appointment?

A healthcare professional will assess the affected area before removing the stiches to ensure that the wound has healed properly. The area will be cleaned and then the stitches will be carefully cut and removed. Aftercare instructions will be provided to look after the vulnerable area such as keeping the area clean or avoiding activities that could affect the healing process.
