Will cosmetic sutures leave scars?

Cosmetic sutures generally do not leave scars, which is related to personal constitution, post-care and other factors.

If the patient does not have a scar-prone constitution and receives proper care in the later stages, usually no scars will be left. However, for people with a scar-prone constitution, the chance of leaving scars is relatively high. The thread used in suturing with cosmetic needles will usually be slowly absorbed by the skin, so care must be taken. During the recovery period, the diet should be light, and irritating foods such as peppers or mustard should be avoided. Wear a sun hat or sun-protective clothing when going out to protect the skin from ultraviolet rays. In addition, it is forbidden to apply cosmetics and do not get exposed to water too early, otherwise it will cause scars in the later stage of infection.

However, for those who do not pay attention to care, scars are likely to be left in the later stage. When they appear in obvious parts such as the face or neck, it is likely to affect personal appearance. You can go to a regular hospital for laser treatment. The energy of the laser can reach deep into the skin and stimulate the reorganization and regeneration of deep collagen fibers. The skin will become smooth and flat afterwards. You should go to a regular hospital for treatment. The equipment is very advanced and can reduce the chance of risks.

Avoid touching the wound frequently with your hands during the recovery period, as there may be bacteria on your hands that may cause infection.
