Is it normal to still have sutures left 3 years post reduction? (Photos)

January 16, 2019
Asked By:Desssy in Chicago, IL

I was a 36 H and am now a 36 DD and some time after I got my stitches out I noticed a suture under my skin but I’m all healed up & it’s still there. Also I am struggling to get rid of some keloid around the areola, any suggestions?
