Dissolvable stitches usually start to degenerate a week after your operation and then continue to do so. Once you are allowed to bathe then soaking them in a bath will speed up the process BUT remember they are there to stop the wound reopening and getting infections. If they haven't disappeared after 4 weeks visit your doctor to see if he will remove them.
