Reason I’m asking here and not my surgeon is because he terminated our relationship. I bought a camera to look in my nose. It’s been 10 weeks since surgery. Is this a permanent suture? It doesn’t look like ingrown hair but it’s underneath my skin and I would like to know what it is. Thankyou

Answer: Sutures after rhinoplasty Most rhinoplasty surgery requires closing incisions using absorbable, and or permanent sutures. Surgeons are obligated to take care of patients after surgery. Not doing so it is considered abandonment. If the surgeon feels the patient is no longer appropriate for that doctor patient relationship, then they are obligated to transfer the care to another provider. I suggest you go back to your surgeon and ask them to give you appropriate, postoperative care, and consider why there was a breakdown in the relationship. Posting questions on real self is a poor substitute for proper postoperative care. Best, Mats Hagstrom, MD
