A member asked:
I had double jaw surgery ten days ago. is there a way to make the stitches in my mouth dissolve faster?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Resolvable stitches: The stitches generally serve the purpose of protecting the surgical site for several days and so it is advisable to leave them in tact. If they are truly bothersome I suggest that you return to your healthcare provider and allow him or her to address this for you.
