Deep Cuts

Doctor Stitch provides specialist plastic surgeon-led assessment and treatment of wounds and injuries from deep cuts, where early decisions may affect long-term healing, appearance, or function. 

​

This may include:

• Deep or complex lacerations 

• Facial wounds involving cosmetically-sensitive areas such as the lips, eyelids, nose, or eyebrows

• Open or contaminated wounds (e.g. after an animal bite)

• Fingertip and nail injuries

• Hand and finger injuries where movement and feeling may be affected

• Small burns involving the face, hand, or functionally important areas (e.g. genitals, feet)

• Facial and hand infections where scarring, movement, or sensation may be affected

​

This service is NOT intended for:

• Polytrauma or life-threatening injuries

• 24-hour emergency or walk-in trauma care

Patients with severe injuries should attend an emergency department immediately.

​​

Why specialist assessment matters

Inappropriate or delayed initial management can lead to:

• poor healing

• unnecessary scarring

• functional loss

• avoidable revision surgery

Early specialist input helps determine the least compromising path forward.

​

Next steps

If you are unsure whether specialist assessment is appropriate, it is often better to seek advice early rather than after problems arise. Depending on the wound or injury, same day assessment and treatment is usually possible.

 

Transparent fees as per Ministry of Health Table of Surgical Procedures (TOSP) recommendation.
