Blue sutures from rhinoplasty. Should I be concerned?

Abetterme1
Hi, just wondering if the sutures that are blue use my nose from rhinoplasty are dissolvable. I noticed later this evening after my appointment that I have one suture left that is sticking out from my skin from the inside. I do not think I can remove it on my own. This one seems extremely deep inside the skin and My surgeon removed all the others . Should I be very concern? I am worried.
