Ashley,
When do you see her for another post op check?
Generally the sutures (even self dissolving ones) can be removed 7-10 days post op one extraction.
If they are causing you a lot of irritation and discomfort, then see her for the removal of them.

I've had 3 other surgeries and the last 2 I had reactions too. It's driving me insane itching and burning. I wish there was a way I could take them out myself but I'm afraid I will knock the clot out.  |
