How much time until my stitches dissolve and when can i eat!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uncertain.: Many dissolvable sutures dissolve in 7 to 10 days but that can be variable. We don't know where your sutures are or what type of surgery you had. It would be best to refer to your aftercare instructions from the physician or dentist to find out exact guidance for your situation. Take care.
