Suture
Removal
A clean, calm, thirty-minute appointment to remove sutures on your surgeon's schedule. Add a drainage extension if you're already in the recovery rhythm — many clients book the two together.
A Small Visit,
Done Properly
Suture removal is brief, but it is not nothing. Clean technique limits scarring and reduces irritation in the days that follow.
- 01Per Your Surgeon's TimingWe follow the timeline your surgical team set — nothing earlier, nothing later. Bring the discharge sheet if you have it.
- 02Clean, Calm SettingRemoved in a quiet treatment room rather than a busy waiting area. Most clients appreciate the slower pace.
- 03Drainage Extension AvailableAdd a 30-minute targeted drainage session for $90 — most clients in active recovery do this.
- 04Photographic DocumentationOn request, we photograph the incision pre- and post-removal to share with your surgical team.
- 05No SurprisesPricing is flat. No "additional sutures" surcharge. The session ends when the sutures are out.
