Permanent sutures for dimples?

aisuwaidi1Feb 8, 2022
I have done a dimple creation surgery using dissolvable sutures and they disappeared within 2 years. I visited two doctors that had different opinions, one said I should re-do the surgery by using permanent sutures and the other suggested to use permanent sutures but to take them out after 1 week for fear of infection. Any recommendations or risks for either option? I do want permanent dimples so I dont want to keep repeating the same procedure. Thank you!
