Hello, After reading your symptoms, I feel that a gaping of the wound/incision line has occurred. The main cause of gaping of the wound is infection and sudden jolt to the wound which opens the stitches.... I am more likely to close a facial wound even 24 hours later if the cosmetic result can be improved but a wound almost anywhere else will be left open or possibly closed loosely or over a drain if more than 6–8 hours old. Human or animal bites are usually left open or at most loosely closed to allow for drainage. Much also depends on who is closing the wound and the quality of follow-up care.
