Hello Dr’s I have a problem I did a breast reduction 5 years ago had a spit stitch but it never bothered me and I assumed with time that the stitch would dissolve on it own and it never did now the spit stitch has flipped now on the inside on my boob and I can see the tiny little hole and the blue stitch itself and it’s been bothering me, can someone please direct to how to fix this and how much? My original has retired and referred to some colleagues but they were out of state.
