Board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Kristy Hamilton and Dr. Roy Kim reveal everything parents need to know about treating children's facial lacerations - from sedation vs local anesthesia to when you really need stitches.

🩺 In This Episode:
• Sedation vs local anesthesia - what doctors don't tell you
• The reality of ER visits for pediatric cuts (spoiler: you'll be there for hours)
• What plastic surgeons choose for their OWN children
• How to tell if a cut needs stitches or just glue
• Why you should consider calling a plastic surgeon instead of going to the ER
• The one painful shot vs the full sedation process
• Post-repair scar care and why kids heal better than adults
• Absorbable sutures vs traditional stitches
• Managing anxiety with parents in the room
• When to use dermabond, strips, or sutures
