What It Does
A Small Visit,
Done Properly
Suture removal is brief, but it is not nothing. Clean technique limits scarring and reduces irritation in the days that follow.
- 01Per Your Surgeon's TimingWe follow the timeline your surgical team set — nothing earlier, nothing later. Bring the discharge sheet if you have it.
- 02Clean, Calm SettingRemoved in a quiet treatment room rather than a busy waiting area. Most clients appreciate the slower pace.
- 03Drainage Extension AvailableAdd a 30-minute targeted drainage session for $90 — most clients in active recovery do this.
- 04Photographic DocumentationOn request, we photograph the incision pre- and post-removal to share with your surgical team.
- 05No SurprisesPricing is flat. No "additional sutures" surcharge. The session ends when the sutures are out.

We follow your surgeon's instructions exactly. If staggered removal was prescribed, we remove only what was specified.
A brief tug. Most clients find it less intense than they expected.
If you're actively in recovery, yes. If sutures were from a minor procedure with no edema, the standalone visit is enough.
