Excuse me, how long does it take to sew up the wound before it can be removed? Can I go to work on the same day or within a day or two after the stitches are removed?

The time for sewing and removing stitches depends on the specific location. Generally speaking, it takes four to five days to remove stitches on the head, face and neck, six to seven days on the lower abdomen and perineum, seven to nine days on the chest, back and buttocks, and ten to twelve days on the limbs. Joints and tension-reducing sutures should be appropriately increased for two days. Generally, you can go to work normally the next day after taking out stitches. Pay attention to the cleaning of the operation opening and dressing change during the treatment.
