Hi and welcome.

Having sutures or staples removed is easy and only a minor discomfort at most.As in the video it only takes a few minutes.Most doctors seem to advise that you should get them removed between 7 and 10 days.Its a good idea to have a long soak in the bath/shower an hour prior to having them removed to soften any scabs etc that may be remaining, i don`t think there is any need for pain meds to be taken unless you have a very low pain tolerance.

I had my sutures removed at 10 days, not a problem.

Cheers Bm.

Thankyou Bigmac, I prefer the thought of sutures as staples will press into the scalp if pressure is applied due to the weight of your head on pillow.

I prefer sutures too but each to their own.

If you live in the UK drop in centres will usually remove them
Free Of charge and when I went they were polite kind and very intrigued by the whole thing.
