Had Face/Neck Lift and Breast Implants in Mexico. The surgeon told me the stitches can be removed. Problem - no one will remove.

Asked By:firestorm423 in Dallas, TX

I had a face/necklift and best implants fine in Mexico. My surgeon said the stitches can be removed, but no one will remove them. My primary physician, urgent care and even the ER told me they won't touch it. I even tried calling a couple plastic surgeons in Dallas, TX and was told no. Any suggestions? They need to choke out its been 13 days and the area around a couple stitches is turning red and becoming sore to touch. Hopefully its not a sign of infection.
