What to expect when the Stitches come out after Reconstructive/Cosmetic Eye Surgery...
For me the Day started by emailing my Plastic Surgeon DR. Roberto Jhayro, who was in the United States at one of his many clinics there. I sent him my pictures of progress, then spoke with him over the phone. He was very pleased with my progress and the healing to date. So an appointment was made with DR. Pedro Gonzalez, who assisted on the original surgery to have the stitches removed.
Once at his office, there was a preliminary check to ensure that I was healed well enough to have the stitches removed. 
After that I was laid down on his work station in his office and the first thing , that you can also possibly have happen to you is a piece of gauze was laid across my eyes and a special anti-bacterial solution was sprayed over the gauze and onto the surrounding areas. This sterilized the area for the removal of the stitches. 
He then pulled the gauze aside off of one eye and proceeded to remove the stitches as we chatted, lol, and I took pictures and a short video. 
I will not lie the pulling on the stitches, especially around the outside corners of the eyes stung and pinched. And Guys...the women have us again, ands down on handling the pain... even though there is not that much..
But do be prepared for a 4/10 pain on some stitches. Once one eye was complete with all the stitches removed, the gauze was transferred and the same procedure was used to remove the stitches from the other eye.
This being complete there was an inspection of both eyes again. To ensure no stitches remained intact. Then another sterilization of the entire area a little clean up and I was good to go. 
It was pleasing to know and note that both Dr.'s thought my healing process was going extremely well. I believe that a major factor was the Aloe Vera Treatment I was using.  
If this is the first post of mine that you have seen and are thinking of having this operation then you may want to watch my daily videos of what to expect all posted on YouTube. 
What I can tell you is that minutes after having the stitches removed I felt 100% better, without the tightness of the stitches and the irritation of having them scratch my eyes at times. I was and am now pain free and feel great.
