anyone done stitching before on your face coz of accident?
-
Go to the doctor ASAP please. He will be able to dress the wound for you and make sure there is no infection. It won't be too pricey.
FYI the longer you wait and if it gets infected, it will leave an ugly scar. So go immediately!!Originally posted by greeniecat:but i scare. is it pain?...anyone done it and know the process to it? i dont intend to tell my parents. i intend to go with my brother. clinic is no use? anyone still remember how much ? -

Why not you let a doctor take a look at it and ask for his / her opinion instead?Originally posted by greeniecat:i didnt wana go see a doctor becoz i got a cut before in my jaw there but that since i was so young that time so i didnt really care somemore its jaw there nobody can see. now my jaw there is like a skin come off. very ugly so i tho let it recover also ok. but i really dont dare. i never stitch before. -
STO for the stitches was two weeks, and the scars were there for about three years... It's like the pirates on my face...Originally posted by greeniecat:u still remember the process? like need how many days to recover?
The tooth bridging took about two years and nine months from the first dental appointment to the final insertion of the bridge... -
whats STO? and during the 2 weeks the doctor will put plaster until it recover isit? and after stitching the area is red?Originally posted by dork3d:STO for the stitches was two weeks, and the scars were there for about three years... It's like the pirates on my face...

STO is a medical term for stitch removal procedure...Originally posted by greeniecat:whats STO? and during the 2 weeks the doctor will put plaster until it recover isit? and after stitching the area is red?
During the two weeks, no plaster was applied over the stitches...
The area was slightly red and swollen... -

Unless they used the biodegradeable stitching or the self-healing gel, otherwise would need a doctor or qualified nurse to remove for you...Originally posted by greeniecat:erm then when the doctor done the stitches for me. no plaster is needed until the day when the doctor remove the stitches for u? they have to remove to stitches right? -
got a nice scar from my nose to my chin now haha, cos of a motorbike accident. within 2 weeks of getting my license, a reminder to me not to speed and to wear a proper helmet (full face). 60+ stiches
was wearing my 40 dollar half face and woke up on the road (after being unconscious for awhile) with it off my head (i did strap it on properly). im guessing the visor cracked and lacerated my face.
well i guess you pay for the amount of protection you get
this is a good picture on why you should wear a full face

anyway im back from sgh from a aesthetic surgeon, she prescibed me a scar cream called mederma, its pretty expensive 35 dollars a tube, but she says if i use this and massage the scar 4 times a day, it will fade and grow softer, results appear in 6 months
-
my bro did stitching before. on his face. 7 stitches i think.
he fell from his bike. face hit the curb of the drain.
hospitalised a couple of days.
that was years back.
the wounds heal. barely see the scare. -

the total bill was about 3k, (alot of specialists and x rays) because they throughly check for any damage to your head.
Ns man, so it was free. except the 2B ward charges which was subsidised also.
for just stitching i do not know
-
mi. when i was 1 1/2 years old.
the scar is STILL THERE. but not obvious. one has to look REALLY closely to see it.
and my fringe is covering it anyways~
