Tourists should take care to abide by local laws and customs when they travel to Dubai. Here's a list of what not to do in Dubai: Drinking: Drinking or being drunk in public is not tolerated and the legal drinking age is 21. you should only drink in a hotel.
Vicryl's tensitle strength is approximately 50% between 2-3 weeks and is fully dissovled by 2.5-3.5 months. When we bury suture and tie it the ends of the suture can spit or poke out of the skin. This usually happens around the 4-6 week mark.
It typically takes at minimum one week for the suture to dissolve, i.e. be resorbed by the body. If the suture knot was tied improperly or if the suture was placed in the floor of your mouth where it would be submerged in saliva, you'll likely find that suture has come undone and is now missing (you've swallowed it). One week is just a minimum. Sometimes I see the suture there for two weeks even, but rarely. There are other materials used in the mouth, however. Sometimes I will use Vicryl, which is intended to last longer. These I will typically see for two weeks, minimum.
