  • Deep laceration onto bone. Disruption of muscle. Wound contaminated with Vaseline

  • Thorough cleaning to remove Vaseline. Deep stitches placed to repair the muscle and reposition the brow. This ensures good wound strength and prevents the brow dropping. The skin meets neatly before the skin stitches are placed

  • Dissolvable skin stitches. This wound needs 8 - 10 weeks to heal.
