Was wondering how long the doctor left your sutures in?
What part of the body?
Thanks!

I've had so many sutures, I've forgotten.... I like the kind that dissolves after a while, so they won't have to cut them and yank them out.... owwwww!!!!

face: one week. Back 2 - 3 weeks. Body two weeks. Very general rules: it varies a lot
