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.
