How common is suture migration?

Absorbable sutures are often used and the process by which they absorb is basically an inflammatory response.  It is not uncommon for some of the sutures to spit during this process. See your surgeon and they should be easily removed. Good luck, Jane

Thank you for sharing your question, what you’re describing is something that is not at all uncommon for many patients, regardless of the procedure they undergo. 
Dissolvable sutures placed deep to the skin closure will often “spit” or become exposed, possibly due to their location or a person’s response to the foreign material in his or her body. Many times the consequences of this are minimal, with irritation of the skin or the suture pulling on clothing being commonly reported issues. 
Show your Plastic Surgeon the areas of concern and see what he or she recommends. Often the suture can simply be cut at or below the surface of the skin to solve this problem. 
I hope this is helpful, and glad to hear you’re happy with your results so far!
