I Had a Blepharoplasty 8 Months Ago. Today a Stich is Poking Through the Skin. Is This OK?
The surgeon told me at the time that he used dissolvable sutures on the superficial layer, whilst a non-dissolvable suture remained deeper. I had no issues after removal of sutures and the scar has healed and remained good until today. There is a small round raised area with what lloks like a white suture end sticking through. What should i do?
