Delays in treatment can worsen outcomes and increase the risk of infection and poor healing. The longer a wound remains open, the higher the risk of bacterial contamination, tissue damage, and permanent scarring.
Most wounds should be closed within 6–8 hours of injury. Facial wounds are even more time-sensitive — the face has excellent blood supply, but delays still increase scarring risk.
The Stitch Doc eliminates the wait. Call us and a board-certified plastic surgeon from Town Plastic Surgery is dispatched immediately — meeting you at the nearest hospital within 60 minutes.
