If it's premeditated it shouldn't be, when I had stitches after having a disfigurement removed they gave me a cream that made my skin unable to feel on the applied area temporarily. So they might give you that luxury too, though my disfigurement was small, I think they would do it for a large area or incision too. But if you come in unsolicited bleeding then you might not be afforded that liberty.

Does it hurt to get stitches taken out of your lip i got 2 stitches in my lip from getting hit with a baseball and it didn't hurt getting stitches in does it hurt getting them out by a doctor?

To some extent it will for a second. When stitches are removed there is a little tug of the stitch as it is taken out. You can feel it, but it isn't as bad as when the stitch was put in. I had 8 taken out recently and was glad to have them out since they started to pull a little on the area where they were.
