Hello there, I have done otoplasty 7 months ago, and I happen to still have some stitches behind my ears, and they are visible. I have phoned my doctor, and he told me that they will dissolve on their own. These are stitches coming out from the skin, so how long would it take for them to completely disappear? One more month?
