Pro-tip: If possible, try and rope someone else into doing it for you. We can’t promise they’ll do it right, but at least if anything goes wrong, it’s not completely your fault.

Prepare Yourself… Mentally

Removing stitches is often an intimidating process. It’s okay if the thought of ripping thread out of human flesh makes you want to faint.

2. Try deep breathing techniques;
3. Take several shots tequila–just kidding (maybe)

Remember! There is nothing sexier than knowing how how stitch up injuries

STEP ONE: Cleaning Up Your Area

STEP TWO: Removing The Stitches

When removing the stitches, you’ll want to keep a few things in mind. Stitches have two separate ends — one that’s tied on top of your skin and another underneath it.
To remove them right, follow these simple instructions:
1. Make sure everything’s clean
2. Grab your tweezer
3. Use scissors to cut knot stiches from above the knot
4. Lift string with tweezers and pull smoothly avoiding undue tension
5.Clean alcohol onto wounds once done.

– don’t hesitate or wait without looking at wound every day.

STEP THREE: Post-op Care

Once all stitches are removed, take good care of your healing wound:

1) Apply bandage as needed; It may provide minor protection while healing continues.

The worst thing you can do is compromise sterility by not cleaning properly – this gives bacteria an easy entry into open wounds so be mindful!

But Seriously…

We cannot stress enough how important it is to seek medical treatment for serious injuries requiring stitches..
