A tummy tuck involves the use of different suture material. Some can be meant not to dissolve such as the ones that tighten your muscles. Others used to close your incision will dissolve and that may take several months. Just ask your surgeon and he/she will be able to answer your question with more detail depending on the material they use. If you have visible sutures on the outside of your skin, they will need to be removed by two weeks to avoid leaving suture marks. So discuss this with your surgeon during one of your follow-up appointments.
