Annoying stitch remains in nose a little over 3 weeks post-septoplasty...can I trim it?

I had a septoplasty procedure on 4/22 - recovery went well and the nasal stents came out 2 weeks post-op. I am breathing and healing great...but this stitch in my nose is driving me crazy. My surgeon told me it should fall out on its own but it hasn't yet, and doesn't even seem 'loose.' I work in the service industry, and kind of have to keep my appearance presentable which includes trimming my nosehairs (haven't since surgery). Is it safe to trim my nosehair, and trim the stitch that remains?
