Most of the time, stitches are removed: 1  From the face in 4 to 5 days. 2  From the hands and arms in 5 to 10 days. 3  From the feet, legs, chest, abdomen, and back in 7 to 14 days. 4  Over a joint in 7 to 14 days.
The goal is to minimize scarring; therefore, the risk of the sutures causing a scar in their own right is balanced against the strength and potential weakness of the healing laceration. Elsewhere on the body, sutures may be left in for seven to 10 days. In some circumstances, in which scarring is not an issue or if there is concern that wound is under mechanical stress (like a laceration over a joint), the sutures may be left in longer.
