Dissolvable sutures- still there- 4 weeks post op- raised scares

Hi,

Just asking if others had dissolvable sutures and how long they were visible for? Mine are still very there? Itchy and annoying and make my scar very raised.

It’s almost a thick scar and I think it’s the sutures adding to this, which is good as in when they go the scar will be flatter- but when do they actually dissolve?? They don’t look like they ever will!

I’m nearly 4 weeks post op.

Hi Hun they can take up to 3 months to fully dissolve xxx

I had 1 left that didn’t dissolve at nearly 2 weeks n my nurse took it out, my scars are very flat n tiny I’m 3wks sat x

Kelo-cote-scar-gel-15g is great for flattening and lightening scars. I started using it 3 months post op as advised by my surgeon.

Here’s a code for 30* off http://livebetterwith.refr.cc/francinep

4 weeks is still very early so don’t stress.
Supplements such as magnesium, vit b and zinc can help the healing process too. I took them pre and post op.
