Aftercare After Stitch Removal

Stitch Removal 11 items All instructions

Full Aftercare Instructions After Stitch Removal

No Alcohol / No Smoking

  • Do not drink alcohol or smoke for 2 months after surgery. Alcohol and cigarettes cause inflammation and delay wound healing.

Face Washing / Shampooing

  • You may wash your face starting 2 days after stitch removal.

Makeup / Exercise

  • Contact lenses, eye makeup, jjimjilbang (Korean bathhouses), saunas, and exercise may be resumed 3 weeks after stitch removal.
  • Except for light walks, begin any exercise that makes your face flush — golf, gym workouts, swimming, and so on — only after 4 weeks have passed since surgery.

Perm / Hair Dye

  • If you had a forehead lift (forehead reduction) or a facelift, these are possible after 2 months. For all other procedures, they are possible after 4 weeks.

Compresses

  • To ease bruising and swelling, warm a heat pack in the microwave for about 15–20 seconds and apply a warm compress frequently. (Heating it for more than 30 seconds may cause the pack to burst or cause burns, so please be careful.)

Care

  • Pain relievers such as aspirin, vitamins, red ginseng, juice-type health supplements, omega-3, propolis, and hormonal medications such as oral contraceptives may be taken one week after all treatment has ended. (Tylenol is fine to take.)
  • You may use artificial tears, but please do not use them too often.
  • Continue applying the eye ointment you used after eyelid surgery for one more week.
  • Continue applying the prescribed Neosiderm to the surgical site for one more week.
  • Apply scar ointment consistently for 3–6 months, starting one week after stitch removal. (Apply all ointments 2–3 times a day, spreading a small amount thinly with a cotton swab.)
