I am about to undergo a mini short scar (T or L scar) thigh lift, and the doctor suggested I sleep one night at the hospital.

This is a revision thigh lift - my previous surgery was ten years ago and I had very bad experience with sutures opening when I started walking after I was sent back home the next day. My question is how long does it take for sutures to initially close to avoid this from happening? I know sutures need a month at least to heal and six week min to be completely closed- but I mean initially the first closure for the wound to close up so that minimal walking won't result in opening?
