It depends: Where was it taken from? The farther away from the foot & taken from the hand or face, it will heal faster. More stem cells= faster healing and the face, hands &scalp have the higher concentration of stem cells. That's why facial sutures r removed earlier than in the lower extremities. This is 2 b informative & best answered by the person who did the bx.
