Hello,
The suture is already put up so all you have to do is not put a lot of weight in those areas so as not to cause any accumulation of blood beneath the dressing. You should change the dressing every 2 days and if it gets wet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Jinela Desouza
