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.
