My eyelid surgery was done 6 days ago and my stitches don't seem to be dissolving. They are covered with a clear glue. (Photo)

It depends on what size suture they put in. I use 6-0 rapid absorb and they can sometimes take a couple of weeks to go away completely in red heads with a lot of red in their skin. The glue is going to make it a little harder for them to resorb because you cannot get them wet from the outside. I will usually remove the knots at either end if they persist at day seven, but leave the runners to dissolve on their own. Picking them out is not so fun and the reason they put dissolvables in, in the first place. Be patient. No long term harm from these stitches staying around longer than expected.

Six days is still very early on in the healing process. You should consult your surgeon and follow his post operative routine. You should heal well with time.
