How many stitches will I have after bunion surgery?

Bunion surgery can require anywhere from one continuous dissolvable stitch underneath the skin's surface to requiring 12 stitches. The length of the incision determines the number of stitches. However, the length of the incision does not dictate how long the incision takes to heal. All incisions heal in between 7-21 days on average.
