good to see your doctor and me think the same way!
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.
it seems the answer to this is no
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?
no they don’t necessarily have to be covered at all times
The metal detector will certainly detect your stitches. I want to get some opinion from people who been in a similar situation?
I would imagine even staples would not trigger the metal detector- they have less metal than a zipper or metal popper
