No, you should not have stitches coming out of your body a year after surgery. Stitches, whether absorbable or non-absorbable, should typically dissolve or be removed within weeks to a few months, depending on the type of sutures used and the healing process. If you notice any stitches still present after such an extended period, it's important to consult your healthcare provider for evaluation and potential removal.

Should you have a hole where your wisdom teeth were three days after the surgery or did your stiches fall out?

Yes, three days after surgery you will definitely still have a hole. It will probably take a few weeks to a month (on average) for the hole to close completely. As for stitches if you don't have dissoluble stitches you should go back to your dentist in about a week to have them removed, however I would recommend you ask your dentist for dissoluble stitches so you don't have to worry about any discomfort that may come with their removal.

OK to get WET after 5 days, but make sure not to soak it or have it under water (no baths, no pool, no beach) than your stitches should come out and you still shouldn't have it underwater for a week or two. hope i helped =] I had knee surgery recently and this is what the doctor told me to do with my surgery wounds.

Some stitches came out my circumcised penis.Will it still heal?

This depends on how long it has been since the surgery was performed. If your penis is not fully healed and the stiches come out, you should see your doctor to make sure the healing process is going correctly. You should see the doctor as soon as possible (within the same day would be ideal) to avoid risk of possible bleeding and infection.

How much does it cost to get stitches?

When I had 3 stitches put in my thumb at Herrick Hospital in Tecumseh, Michigan, the bill was $1615.00. That's $538.33 per stitch. The procedure took 30 to 40 minutes. I had expected that the bill would be no more than $150.00, but my being billed $1615.00 for 3 stitches was worth my finally knowing that the devil does exist and what group of individuals make up the body of the devil.

Honestly it's probably not a good idea since you are still healing from a major surgery. However, you should consult the doctor who is performing your back surgery to see what he thinks.

My kitten was spayed at a clinic well over a month ago. She still seems to have a stitch at the base of it and some crusties - I am assuming this needs to be removed Why hasn't anyone followed up?

Cats seem to bounce right back a day or two after spaying without any complications and don't need a followup The stitches that are used should be dissoluble If they are still there or if the site of the surgery is not healing correctly, go back to the vet and have him check it out.
