So after I went ahead and got my tongue split and all I'm now dealing with the "how am I going to get the stitches out" phase.

I've waited the "7-10" days before attempting to remove them. It's actually PAST the 10 day mark.

The problem I'm having right now is - The stitches are too snug on my tongue to get in with scissors, I've tried sanitizing a pair of nail clippers, but that hasn't worked either. I don't have health insurance, or dental so I cannot just jump off to a dentist or the ER to have them removed. I'm at a small loss right now.

Anyone have any suggestions?

well how did you get stitches in the first place and i guess thats your only choice to get it removed from a professional. Its not something you can do at home there can be risk's!

Uh, tweezers, perhaps?

Got any nurse friends? They could probably do it easy...

Alivada · 11-08-2010, 12:38 AM

Couldn't you just go to the doctors?

So wait you got your tongue split but you do not have any medical or dental insurance? What would you do if it became infected or there was a complication with the splitting?

So yeah you are shit outta luck either take a knife to em and hope to god you do not have shaky hands or fork up the cash for a pro to do it.

How are tweezers going to cut through a stitch. I can take them out, I need them cut first.

If anything happened during the procedure it would be all liability on him, so stated the little thing I had to sign. Anything after I left the building was on me. I'd be fine with paying the $$$ if it was infected, cause that's serious. I'm not going to pay a few hundred dollars to have someone take stitches out. That's just messed up.

I used to use manicure scissors on stitches I got from various accidents. They are sharp and narrow enough to do the job, even if the seam is tight.
