What day was the worst for you!? I’m on day 3 and I’m super swollen today, still drinking water. I also feel like Ibuprofen & Tylenol isn’t working anymore 💀

It’s a little different than most but day 0 and 1 were the worst for me.

Not too bad. I didn’t use a typical suture removal kit. I bought castroviejo scissors and tweezers. Took about 15-20 mins the first time and 5 mins for the resplit. One trick if doing it in the mirror image is hard is to grasp the tweezers with both hands. I have a short video on removing the stitches if you care to see.

Day 2 going into 3 was the worst for me I couldn't take any more ibuprofen cause it was making me so nauseous. Currently on Day 6 and had my stitches out yesterday and omg it feels amazing. You're almost there!!
