Dissolvable stitches for Vaginoplasty
Because there are many different types of "dissolvable" stitches, I would have to know the exact kind to accurately answer your question. Some stitches dissolve in as little as 5-7 days and others can take over 5-6 weeks to dissolve. Most commonly the dissolvable stitches used on the outside of the skin dissolve within 2-3 weeks. Hope this helps...RAS

Dissolvable Sutures?
Thank you for the question.
You will need to check with your surgeon to see what type of sutures were used; each type has a different absorption profile.
Best wishes.

How Long Does It Take for Dissolvable Stitches to Dissolve After Bladder Lift/Vaginoplasty Surgery?
Thank you for your question. It really depends on why type of dissolvable stitches they used. The ones used on the skin usually dissolve in 2 -3 weeks. If it's in the vagina, we usually use stitches that take a little longer to dissolve. You should ask your doctors office since they know what stitches they used.
