Due to major knee surgery, i have dissolvable stitches myself. Its been about a month and my surgen still says i cant fully submerge my knee underwater. Also, every responce on Google says to wait ATLEAST a month. But, the best thing for you to do would be to just ask the Doctor Who gave you the stitches.
