Stitches are usually removed within 14 days, depending on the location of the wound. Your healthcare provider will tell you when to return to have your stitches removed. Your provider will use sterile forceps or tweezers to pick up the knot of each stitch. He or she will cut the stitch with scissors and pull the stitch out. You may feel a slight tug as the stitch comes out.
