How painful/uncomfortable is it to get stitches removed for rhinopasty and blepharoplasty? (Scale of 1-10)

Suture removal is usually very quick and not uncomfortable after these procedures.  Most of our rhinoplasties are performed closed with incisions inside the nose only so the sutures are all dissolvable (no sutures are removed).  For our blepharoplasties a suture is pulled out at a week after surgery and just takes a few seconds (patients usually say they barely feel it).  Every surgeon is different though so check with your surgeon regarding his or her specific technique.

Typically the procedure will last less than 5 minutes, and will be mildly uncomfortable. Nothing compared to the discomfort of undergoing the actual surgery.

A lot will depend upon how the sutures replaced. Simple sutures can be removed usually with very minor discomfort. This would apply to the eyelid operation as well as the rhinoplasty.
