I still have a dissolvable stitch in nose after almost a month after surgery. Is this normal?
Answer: Dissolvable Sutures Can Take Time to Disappear Depending on the type of suture material that was used, it is not uncommon for some of them to persist for several weeks or even a month after surgery. Schedule and appointment with your surgeon to make sure that everything is healing as it should. He or she can also remove it if it is bothering you.

Answer: Absorbable stitches can easily remain for several months. Absorbably stitches can take several months to absorb (even up to 6 months). Confirm that it is an absorbably stitch with your physician becasue some use permanent sutures. If it has done its job and is bothering you , the surgeon may remove it as well

Answer: Dissolving sutures in nose Dissolvable sutures in the nose will often disappear after a few weeks. If after 4 weeks it is still present, and it bothers you, go back to your surgeon to have it removed. At this point it is likely not doing anything anymore.
