how long for surgical thread to dissolve?
Hi, I had surgery almost 5 weeks ago, and I still have these surgical threads sticking out of my nipples. How long does it usually take for them to dissolve? My ps was Dr. Fielding.

Dude.... You can clip them off with a pair of scissors. Didn't Doc Fielding tell you that at your 6th day check-up?

Yeah I did that, but the end are still sticking out (even though they are quite small). Dr. Fielding said they would dissolve on their own, but I can't remember if he said how long it would take...how long was it for you?

Geeze dude, I'm not sure. Once I cut them off, I didn't bother with them anymore.
