The time to fully recover from a stitched wound is related to the site. Different parts of the skin, due to the different blood richness, thickness, healing time also varies, resulting in different time to remove stitches. Generally, stitches can be removed in 4-5 days for head, face and neck wounds; 6-7 days for lower abdominal and perineal surgeries; 7-9 days for chest, upper abdominal, back and buttock surgeries; 10-12 days for limb surgeries; and 14 days for wounds with reduced tension sutures. In special cases, such as infection, the recovery time will be prolonged appropriately; the wounds with hypotonic suture will be slower because of the higher tension, and it will take more than 14 days to fully recover; and patients with malnutrition and diabetes and other underlying diseases, the wounds will heal slower, and need to be prolonged appropriately according to the condition of the wounds. After removing the stitches within 2-3 days the eye of the needle is also basically healed, at this point can be considered wound recovery.
