Do Prolene stitches leave a bad scar on face?
No. How much of a scar is left is dependant on the cut, the size and type of suture, and type of stitch. If a small size suture is used for a continuous stitch, then generally the injury heals very well. It's the interrupted stitch that leaves the "railroad" scar. If you ever have a large cut on your face, always ask for a plastic surgeon. This assures that the scar will be as minimal as possible.

How does one do a surgical stitch?
There are many methods to surgical sewing. Methods such as the running subcuticular, horizontal mattress, interupted subcutaneous, vertical matress, retention sutures, and the mighty pursestring stitch are among the most common ways of placing surgical "stitches". Each one descibes the way the suture is placed. The type of suturing is also dependent upon the decision to use absorbable suture, or nonabsorbable suture. The suture is usually placed using sterile technique, usually done by a doctor, nurse practicioner, or surgical First Assistant, and can be done either in an emergency room type setting, or in the operating room. A needle holder is used to drive the needle through the tissue, ( the suture is fixed onto the back of the needle ), and in the other hand the sewer has a pair of forceps, or pickups. ( Tweezers to all you non medical field people ) After the required sutures are placed, the appropiate knot is placed, and then the remaining suture is cut with a pair of suture scissors.
