How long does it take for tummy tuck sutures to dissolve?
Different sutures dissolve at different rates. If they are under the skin, you actually want them to stick around for awhile to hold the tension while your skin is healing. In most cases the sutures are dissolve in 2 to 3 months. If for some reason your surgeon put absorbable sutures on the outside, you should have them removed in 7 to 10 days to prevent any scaring from developing.
