Suturing
Expert wound closure by a plastic surgeon — for cuts and lacerations stitched with fine, meticulous technique to give the neatest possible scar.
Suturing
What it is
Suturing is the careful closure of cuts and lacerations. Closed by a plastic surgeon using fine, layered technique, even an everyday wound heals with a much finer scar than standard closure — which matters most on the face.
Who it's for
- Fresh cuts and lacerations, especially on the face
- Wounds where scar appearance matters
- Patients wanting plastic-surgical closure
- Revision of a wound for better healing
The procedure
Performed under local anaesthesia. The wound is cleaned, explored and closed in fine layers with sutures chosen for the site, in a quick in-clinic visit.
Recovery & aftercare
Keep the wound clean and dry. Sutures are removed at five to fourteen days depending on location, then scar care begins.
