How long should it take for the stitches behind my ears to dissolve after having a mid face lift. Can anything be done to help the process?
Answer: Dissolving stitches The stitches I use under the skin usually dissolve after 4-6 weeks, but ask your plastic surgeon since I don't know the exact type of suture used.

Answer: Absorbable sutures Thank you for your question. Generally absorbable sutures will dissolve in 1-2 weeks, but it depends on the type that were used. If they are not completely dissolved by 2 weeks, your doctor may just elect to remove the remnants. If it is bothering you- let your surgeon know and they may remove them if they feel they have been in long enough. All the best,

Answer: How long does it take for the stitches behind the ears to dessolve after a faceli I happen to use dissolving sutures behind the ears that usually go away in about ten days. Some materials can last longer. It also depends on the thickness of the suture material. The thinner the suture, the fastest it will dissolve. You can certainly ask your surgeon about this and if something is bothering you it can always be removed.
