Try to keep your stitches (sutures) dry for at least 48 hours after surgery. Your healthcare professional will tell you when you can get your stitches wet or if they need to be kept dry. This may depend on what kind of wound and dressing you have.
In my opinion leaving sutures on the face in for twelve days is too long. By seven days the wound has developed approximately 8% the tensile strength of intact skin. This is strong enough (along with any buried absorbable sutures) so that the non-absorbable sutures (the ones you can see) can be safely removed.
