A member asked:

Its been 3 weeks now since my surgery and the disolveable stitches havnt disolved yet ...when will they disolve ? thet are the clear type

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The clear sutures are most commonly a dis-solvable type called monocryl or pds. 3 weeks is too early to see them completely gone. If a piece is protruding and bothering you, have your surgeon remove it in office.
