There were 2 stitches in each nostril, one permanent on the outside, and one dissolvable on the inside. My PS removed the permanent ones on the outside 5 days after the procedure, and the dissolvable one fell out from the left nostril the same day.

Will this negatively impact my results and allow my nostril to stretch out (potentially unevenly because the dissolvable stitch in the right nostril is still intact)?
