The other name of the stitch is sutures. Stitches are usually used for bleeding control, healing aid and positioning of tissue. 

6. Smoking 

Do you have a habit of smoking? Avoid smoking completely for fast healing. Smoking may slow the process of healing and may also lead to an implant failure for bone fusion.
