On August 26, Dr. Tu Dung - Director of JW Hospital (HCMC), said that the hospital had just received emergency treatment for a female patient who was bitten by a dog, causing her lips and mouth to tear, the wound was 1.5 cm deep, nearly 5 cm long and kept bleeding.

Ms. C. said that, because she was playing with her pet dog too much, the dog suddenly attacked and bit her face, causing a deep tear in her lips and mouth and bleeding profusely.

Long wound from dog bite

After unsuccessful attempts to stop the bleeding, the family quickly took Ms. C. to the hospital for emergency care.

Through clinical examination, the patient had a 3 cm long, 1.5 cm deep tear of the upper lip muscle and a nearly 2 cm tear of the lower lip mucosa. In addition to performing the necessary first aid, the aesthetic factor is also very important, especially for facial wounds.

Doctors at JW Hospital opened the wound to clean, disinfect and suture the lips for Ms. C.

"Emergency suturing is an operation to stop bleeding in time, but if using large threads, it will lead to poor aesthetics. Doctors used small threads and sutured according to each muscle layer to restore the structure, avoiding the case of crooked lips," Dr. Dung shared.

Luckily, Ms. C. arrived at the hospital in time, making the procedure easier for the doctors, avoiding scarring on her face later.

Doctor Tu Dung recommends that young people and families with pets be careful when playing with pets to avoid unfortunate incidents.
