>I have been circd for one month and alot of my sutures have fallen out but a few are still in. Im still swollen (still!) but just dont know how to take them out. Do I pull? Will any get stuck in there. I can really feel them when I walk. I am worried cos everyone always talks about sutures coming about after about a week but like i said i am still swollen. What to do???
They should be out by now. You can pull them out carefully with tweezers. You might need to snip them VERY carefully (yeah, like I need to tell you to be careful with scissors there!) You might need to lift them a bit with a needle so that you can safely cut them.
