Incision on lips

2021-03-13 19:50:59
Hello ... I met with an accident and got 5dissolvable stitches on my upper lip and 2 on lower lip , it has been almost 20 days but the stitches are not dissolved. Doctor said they will get dissolve maximum in 15-20 days. In the lower lip , I got two stitches from inside and I can see that the thread is popping out and they are covered with skin . Is that normal, should I wait for them to fully dissolve or do I have to get them cut by a surgeon. Thanks !

Ideally it would be resolved But usually it doesn't happen So kindly get them removed

No need dissolvable switches don't need removal. Having said that sutures on the external lip need to be removed in 4to5 days to prevent scarring. Can you send a picture else see a plastic surgeon
