Dissolvable stitches after circumcision

my doctor told me all stitches should have dissolved by day 21 of circumcision. I’m on day 16 only now and over half have gone but if there are still some after 3 weeks should I go to the doctor to remove them??

I’m on day 21 today and probably 5 stitches have fallen off, everybody is different. You can’t just go by the general rule of when it will fall off. Some still have a few after 6+ weeks
