Typically one week
Resorbable will disappear by itself in 15 to 20 days, but non-resorbable needs to get removed.
The answer depends on the type of stitches- however traditionally suture removal in 7-10 days or they dissolve in that time frame without the need for removal
10 to 14 days after surgery.

It depends on how extensive the surgery was. Usually, we tell our patients to follow up 1-2 weeks after the procedure. If you have sutures that dissolve by themselves, there is no need for suture removal.
