How long does it take for internal stitches to dissolve (upper blepharoplasty)?

Asked By:HappyEmoji in Los Angeles, CA

I'm thinking about having an upper blepharoplasty + keep reading things about irritation along the suture lines + it possibly being due to internal sutures that need to dissolve. I wear contacts, so I don't want to experience that kind of irritation for too long + weighting the pros/cons of having the procedure. Thanks!
