Yes but there is a great chance that it would get infected and take twice as long to heal; then there is a possibility that they would lose too much blood. What is important for healing is that the wound surfaces are clean and that they are brought together so the tissues will rejoin. There are other means of bringing and holding cut tissue surfaces together, such as skin adhesives or tight dressings. Deep wounds are another matter and may require multiple layers of stitches or bindings.
