Doctor told me there is no issue with me flying at all.


My question is should I wait to have stitches removed first before flying back? Do people once who have stitches removed, then no longer put any gauze or tape on their stitches anymore? I haven't had stitches in a very long time so I don't remember the process. I certainly am not aware of how it is with the head area.


Now if you still have stitches on, you should always have a gauze over it no matter what right? Thing is what about when flying? The metal detector will certainly detect your stitches. I want to get some opinion from people who been in a similar situation?
