Do I Need To Go To The Doctor To Remove Stitches ?
Hi there I got my implant changed Wednesday 27th and was told to keep the bandage on 2 days then remove, I have followed this advice and have butterfly stiches. I was not given a follow up appointment so do I pull this Stiches off myself or soak them Off or will I need a follow up appointment with the nurse?

Hello,
The stitches that you see are usually absorbable stitches and these become loose on their own in few weeks and fall off. A separate appointment is not needed.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Rakhi Tayal, OBGYN
