Frequently Asked Questions

Is suturing painful?

Local anaesthesia is used to numb the area before suturing, so discomfort during the procedure is minimal.

How soon after an injury should I get sutures?

It is best to have a wound assessed and treated as soon as possible, ideally within a few hours of the injury, for the best healing outcome.

When will my sutures be removed?

This depends on the location and size of the wound, but is typically scheduled between 5 to 14 days after suturing.

Will suturing leave a scar?

Some scarring is a natural part of the healing process, but careful technique and proper aftercare can help minimise its appearance.

What should I do if my wound looks infected after suturing?

Please contact us promptly if you notice increasing redness, swelling, discharge, or pain, so it can be assessed right away.
