Asked By:rhaeaxo in Boston, MA

Hello, I am two weeks post-op and today was gently touching my nose, then felt something inside my nose and decided to pull it out (thought it was just mucous). What I found was a dissolvable stich which came from inside my nostril. I cleaned the area with a q-tip and found blood. Could it effect my rhinoplasty results??
