These stitches are often used during labiaplasty because they are made of a material that dissolves without causing infection or pain; they may dissolve from 7 to 21 days after surgery, depending on the type of suture and the location of the stitches. These dissolvable stitches allow tissues to heal in the most natural way, which is why they are the best option for labiaplasty since the result should look as natural as possible.
