The Doctor Who put them in will be able to best judge how long they need to be left in, but on average stitches on the face should be left in for 3-5 days, stitches on the body or scalp 7-10 days, and stitches on extremities 10-14 days. When a stitch is put in on a joint like the elbow or knee, the wound will take longer to heal and stitches should be left in for a full two weeks. Stitches being left in for too long risk infection and painful extraction and stitches removed too soon can result in the wound opening up again.

Depends on the tissue, and I assume you're talking about external stitches; not the internal kind you can't see and don't need to remove. For the face -- 3 days For the abdomen -- 7-10 days Stress areas -- 10 days
I had a head wound and the in time was 7 to 10 days.
3 to 5 days for facial and head and neck wounds
7 to 10 days for other wounds

Usually doctors out absorbable or "disappearing" stitches in the testes, these usually dissolve on their own in about ten days.
The stiches are covered by tape and are usually of the disolvable type.So if after a couple of weeks when the wound has healed and they have not disolved see your doctor to have them removed.
