After a breast reduction surgery, the majority of stitches used are typically dissolvable, meaning they will be absorbed by your body over time and do not require removal. However, in some cases, your surgeon may use non-dissolvable sutures for certain areas, which would need to be removed during a follow-up appointment. Your plastic surgeon will discuss the specifics of your surgery and the type of sutures used, ensuring you receive appropriate care and guidance throughout your recovery process.
