How Stitches work

 

when you get stitches a doctor threads a  needle through your wound and pulls it  tight to close the skin as the stitches  hold the edges together.

The wound  becomes inflamed as new cells begin to  repair the tissue afterwards connective  tissues and collagens start to create  skin.

 Then blood vessels form to nourish  these developing tissues filling in the  area and over a few weeks the wound will  have healed together and the stitches  are removed.
