When is the correct time to remove alar base stiches? It seems to vary between 3 to 9 days. Will a long space of time before removal not leave stich holes?
Answer: Best to remove stitches after 5 days It is best to remove stitches in the face by the fifth day so as not to leave any railroad tracking on the incision. Additionally, any sutures left in nine days will leave railroad tracking and should be avoided.

Answer: Ask your physician Every plastic surgeon has their own way of doing surgery. Ask them. There is no absolute correct answer - I do many rhinoplasties and take out the sutures between 3 and 7 days usually.
