[Gpdd] [HEALTH] Non dissolving sutures

[Ann Evans]

Dear Ellen,
Did you talk to Dr. King's office and confirm that non-dissolving 
sutures were used? The time it takes a suture to dissolve depends on the 
thickness of the suture. However by 6 weeks even the thickest dissolving 
suture should only have a possible few "whiskers" left. Are you saying 
that you can see the entire suture including the knot? Usually for skin 
sutures a very fine fast dissolving suture is used. Or it would be 
better to say that is what I prefer to use.

Cheers,
