Do dissolvable stitches feel like plastic.

There are several types of dissolvable sutures. Some are soft and some are very stiff like a nylon fishing line. These stiff ones can be very good superficially since they are less reactive with tissue and therefore better scars. Discuss your situation with your surgeon since they know exactly what they used. Good luck.

Thank you for the inquiry regarding dissolvable stitches. Yes, these types of stitches can feel similar to plastic thread or fishing line. I hope this information was helpful to and wish you all the best!

Hi shezza13, 
There are different types of dissolvable sutures, some are soft and feel like thread while others are stiff and feel like fishing line.  They have different timelines for breaking down or dissolving as well.  Your surgeon can better explain time  for resorption of the specific sutures placed in you.  
Best of luck!

They are commonly clear and feel a lot like fishing line. Depending on the thickness and exact type, they may feel stiffer or more flexible.
