Which did you have and if dissolving how long did it for them to full dissipate?

I had dissolving and if I remember correctly it was about 3 weeks for them all to go.

I had dissolving sutures and I have no recollection of how long it took them to dissipate. They never bothered me and I never thought about them. I started pumping at day 18 post surgery and I think that they were gone by then.

Dissolving and almost a month before last piece was gone. Look at photos of stitches on "My Journey" as I think I put some there and YouTube (Murray Oeth) to view more stitches. There was one point and you will see in photo where it looked like an infection but after sending to doctor was informed it wasn't but a normal process of healing.
Pick a high volume doctors and follow his recommendation.
