A member asked:
I had wisdom teeth surgery 11 days ago and it feels like one of the dissolvable sutures is coming loose and i can also see the knot. is that normal?

Yes: As the swelling goes down, the sutures will loosen. If it is dissolvable suture, they will fall out. Sounds good.

Very normal: As tissues heal they shrink. That makes the sutures appear loose. If suture does not fall out on its own, return to your surgeon for removal.
