Q: flying with stitches

I received stitches today to remove a cyst, about 10 very small stitches above my eyebrow. I have a business trip in the morning. Is it safe to fly with stitches.

I see no reason why not. You are sewn together or were butterfly type bandages place to hold? Good question though, maybe someone here can help you better than I. Just really wanted to Welcome you to eHealth and hope you'll stay around!

Hey don't worry, altitude won't affect your stitches.

Cheers,
