Question 1

Do I need stitches?

Accepted Answer

Signs you need stitches: the cut is deeper than 1/4 inch, the edges won't stay together, bleeding won't stop after 10-15 minutes of pressure, the wound is on your face or hand, or the cut is jagged. Call 1-(855)-STITCH0 and we'll assess over the phone in 60 seconds.

How fast does the surgeon arrive?

Question 5

Why choose a plastic surgeon for stitches instead of an ER doctor?

Accepted Answer

Plastic surgeons use advanced techniques — layered closure, fine sutures, precise tension alignment — that minimize scarring. ER doctors prioritize speed over cosmetic outcomes. For facial lacerations or any visible wound, a plastic surgeon produces dramatically better results.
