Most dissolvable stitches start to break down within one to two weeks. However, it could take several months before your stitches disappear completely. After the wound has healed, it may be possible for a nurse to remove the loose ends of the dissolvable stitches, to speed up the process. Ask your surgeon or the health professional treating you if they can tell you: 1  what kind of stitches youâve been given. 2  how long they will take to dissolve.
How long will my stitches (sutures) take to dissolve? The time it takes for dissolvable or absorbable stitches to disappear can vary. Most types should start to dissolve or fall out within a week or two, although it may be a few weeks before they disappear completely. Some may last for several months.
