The CPT code for a simple suture of a facial laceration under local anesthetic is typically 12001, which is used for the repair of a superficial wound in the face, ears, eyelids, scalp, neck, hands, feet, and mucous membranes. For more specific cases or variations in the complexity of the suturing, other codes such as 12002 or 12004 may be applicable. Always verify with the latest coding guidelines for accurate billing.
