hello
thank you for trusting HCM
dear it is depends on your suturing material.if it is done with catgut no need remove it will obsorb itself if it sutured with nylon or prolene then it has to be removed after 1week. but stiched scar not develop much on the face or nose. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions feel free to ask.
take care
