How long after rhinoplasty are stitches removed?

January 21, 2017
Asked By:Malibuubarbiee in London, GB

I recently traveled abroad to have surgery. He took the cast off on the 4th day even though my eyes were so black they would not open and it clearly wasn't ready . He took the splints out at the same time and I lost so much blood then i thought i was going to die . I came home and he told me to take stitches out ten days after I leave . So that would of been 16 days after surgery . When i google this it says I will scar and need to be out on 7th day . He told all the girls different days
