How long does it take for the stitches to dissolve in mouth?
Patient: I split my face between my nose and lip. I had 11 stitches outside and 8 inside. This happened on the 20th of December.  I had the outside stitches taken out but the inside still remain.  How long will it take for the stitches to dissolve in mouth and how should I care for the inside of my mouth? Doctor: Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,   I have gone through your query, as you are asking about stiches if it is absorable it will start dissolving in two to theee month   Have you have confirmed this with your doctor is it absorable ?  Consult your doctor and go removal if it is non absorable .Hope this will help you
