Best Answer: Vicryl sutures which are the dissolvable kind usually take 80-90 days to dissolve. However if they used what is called GUT sutures which are made of fish gut then about 10-12 days max. You can tell which is which because the vicryl are thick like a small white rope, the gut are almost like clear fishing line. Also if its the vicryl go back to where you were seen and they can remove them after 14 days the skin as adhered enough by then, sometimes they use them when they run out of nylon sutures.
