In Short:Hard To Say: Depends on where it's located, your type of skin, the nature of the surgery and whether or not there were any complications post-op, what types of sutures used, if there were any retained sutures or absorbable subcutaneous sutures used, whether or not exposed to sun, your diet and nutrition any stresses or strains placed in or on that area, the strength of your immune system and probably more.
