How Long would it take for Breast Lift and Tummy Tuck Stitches to Dissolve?
I had a Tummy Tuck procedure and a Breast Lift 2 weeks ago. How long will it take before the stitches dissolve?
Suture dissolve rates
Thanks for your question - As several of the other doctors have mentioned - it depends on the type of material. Your muscle plication may have been performed with sutures that don't dissolve or dissolve very slowly while sutures used in a subdermal or subcuticular closure may dissolve in one to two months. Ask your surgeon what they used and they should be able to give you an accurate time frame. I hope this helps.
