How is remove?
Remove unsightly or changing moles with minimal scarring using our unique dermatologic, subcutaneous (“under the skin” stitches) closure technique. Deep sutures bear all of the tension of a wound, and the superficial sutures approximate the epidermal edges for a cosmetically ideal result. Deep sutures are absorbable and do not need to be removed.
On the face, cutaneous sutures may be removed after about 5 days. On the body, they may be removed between 10-14 days. Prolonged placement of superficial sutures can result in re-growth of skin over the sutures, as well as the formation of unsightly permanent track marks, so we take our sutures out as early as possible.
Sutures are available in various thicknesses that are suitable for different body sites and tissues. As might imagine we need thicker, stronger sutures for the body than we do for the face where there’s far less tension.
