Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,
The stitches on the skin of caesaraean with tubal ligation procedure start dissolving within 7-10 days, sometimes even earlier . They can take time to get completely absorbed upto 3 months.
Off course this depends on he suture material used, if its partially completely absorbable one or slowly absorbable one.
Patient risk factors for good wound healing, diabetes, anemia may also delay the process.
