Im getting Rhinoplasty and my Plastic Surgeon has said he can put either permanent sutures /stitches inside my nose or dissolvable ones. I hear that permanent ones would potentially help keep the nose in place better that dissolvable ones but they could get infected (although he says that's unlikely) or potentially be rejected by the body. Please can you advise me on the best choice or the most common choice? Thank you!
