For sudden wounds, we consider the entire process from suturing to healing

Wound Suturing

WOORI Plastic Surgery goes beyond simply closing a wound.
We assess the location and depth of the wound, as well as the condition
of the surrounding tissues, and develop a treatment plan that considers the healing process and final outcome.

※ Treatment availability and methods may vary depending on the condition of the wound and the circumstances of the day's consultation.

What type of wound do you have?

Wounds can vary depending on how they occurred, their depth, and the type of skin damage involved.
The first step in treatment is identifying what type of wound you have.

• 

  Abrasion

  A wound where the surface
  of the skin is scraped off due to
  a fall or friction

• 

  Contusion

  A condition in which
  bleeding or swelling occurs
  beneath the skin from an impact.

• 

  Laceration

  A wound in which the skin
  is torn and separated due to
  external trauma.

• 

  Incision

  A cut caused by a sharp object
  such as a knife or glass.

• 

  Puncture Wound

  A wound caused by a
  pointed object penetrating
  into the skin.

• 

  Irregular / Torn Wound

  A wound in which the skin and
  underlying tissues are irregularly
  torn apart due to
  significant trauma.

Whether a wound requires suturing is not determined solely by its size.
Even a wound that appears small may require suturing depending on its depth or location.

Suturing Methods May Vary Depending
on the Depth of the Wound.

A superficial wound involving only the skin and a wound accompanied by deeper tissue damage require different approaches.
Depending on the depth of the wound, the subcutaneous tissue and dermal layer may first be carefully restored and stabilized,
followed by precise suturing of the skin surface in multiple layers.

  Subcutaneous
  Tissue

  condition of the deeper
  tissues

• 

  Dermal Layer

  stabilizing the tissues

Tailored Suturing & Recovery Care

• 01 Assessment of the Wound
  

  We assess the wound's location,
  length, depth, and direction, as well as
  contamination and the condition
  of the surrounding tissues,
  to determine the proper approach.

• 02 Cleaning & Treatment
  

  When necessary,
  we check for foreign materials
  and contamination inside the wound
  and prepare the wound
  for appropriate suturing
  with careful cleaning.

• 03 Customized Suturing
  

  Depending on the depth and location
  of the wound and the tissue condition,
  we perform precise suturing
  using the appropriate technique
  for each case.

• 04 Suture Removal & Aftercare
  

  We monitor the healing process
  of the sutured area and provide
  systematic care from suture removal
  through scar management
  after the procedure.

※ The actual suturing technique and treatment steps may vary depending on the depth and location of the wound and the extent of tissue damage.

First Aid Guide

What to Do Before Coming to the Hospital

• STEP 01

  Apply Pressure to
  the Bleeding Area

  Apply direct pressure to the wound
  using clean gauze or a clean cloth.

• STEP 02

  Keep the Wound Clean
  and Protected

  Cover the wound with clean gauze
  or similar material to minimize
  further contamination.

• STEP 03

  Have the Wound Assessed
  Promptly

  It is recommended to have
  a medical professional determine
  whether the wound requires suturing.
