Stitches question


I got bit by a dog last Friday. I got 6 stitches in my lip. The stitches came out yesterday the plastic surgeon put steri strips on it. He said keep them on till Sunday. They won't stay on. Is that okay if I take them off or should I keep putting new ones on. Thanks 

Re: Stitches question

  • If it was any other place on your body I would say to just leave them off, but since its on your face, I will call the office and have them put the steri strips back on.

    This.

    Usually we tell patients to keep the steri strips on, but if they fall off it's NBD .. call the Surgeon, and see what they say.
