Stitches come out 4 years post op? (Photo)

Asked By:caldechrome in Anaheim, CA

Hello- I'm wondering if anyone else experienced anything like this. I had a breast reduction in March 2019 and just a few weeks ago suddenly I noticed two small scabs on the scar under my breast. It feels like some stitches worked their way out or something but I thought the stitches would surely have dissolved by now! Is this a thing?
