what do dissolvable stitches look like when they fall out
Yo! I see you're curious about something. What's on your mind?
Hey Billie, I was wondering what do dissolvable stitches look like when they fall out?
Great question! Dissolvable stitches, or absorbable sutures, as they're technically called, usually don't 'fall out'. Instead, your body gradually absorbs them.
So, you mean to say, they disappear on their own?
Exactly! They're designed to gradually dissolve in your body over a period of time, typically 1 to 2 weeks. You might notice a small piece of suture material at your wound site, but that's rare.
I see, thanks for the info Billie!
