Healthy skin heals quickly ( especially if you are eating leafy green veggies). You will needabout 10 days beofre removal of stitches and probably 10 more days to heal. Then you should be able to play with a light bandage. Have a ball!

That's a question for the doctor that put the stitches in. How long do you have to keep the stitches in? I would say that once the stitches come out, you probably can go back and play.

It sounds like you have quiet a wound on your cheek. Did you get the clear stitchs or the thread stitche? Are you a fast healer or it takes the full length to heal? I would say three weeks,but it depends on the wound.

if you've got 20-25 then it will take 6-7 days

Usually a week or two then they either dissolve or get taken out by your doc (depending on how deep the laceration was that is).
