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

Nothing to worry about and it seems like you had a nice result. I’m sure either your surgeon or whoever else you choose can go after and left over sutures if there are any. also my suggestion with the scars is a scar revision. This can be done with just numbing medicine and have them cut out and reclosed.  Then I’d suggest being super aggressive about scar maintence. 
Hope that helps!

Hello and thank you for your question.
Sometimes a suture does not dissolve and makes its way to the surface. Reach out to your surgeon to have it looked at. Best wishes!

Dear Desssy, Thank you for your question. Based on the pictures your provided, you may benefit from scar revision of some of the areas. Unfortunately, pictures only tell part of the story, so I do recommend you being seen and examined by a board certified Plastic Surgeon who can advise you what would be the next best step of action. Sometimes keloids can also be treated with injection therapy or a combination of excision and injections.Best wishes, Franziska Huettner

I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to discuss your concerns. Some scars can be improved with laser treatments or steroid injections. Scar revision can be done to improve the scars if necessary. The suture can also be addressed at that time.

Thank you for your questions and photographs. 
It’s possible that there is a suture underneath your skin and soft tissue, depending on the type of sutures your Plastic Surgeon used during your procedure. As far as keloid scarring, techniques of excision, steroid injection, and radiation therapy are all regimens that have been used in attempts to treat this. 
I recommend you follow-up with your Plastic Surgeon. He or she will be able to answer your questions and guide you with how best to proceed. 
I hope this is helpful, best of luck to you.

A small procedure could be done called a scar revision  This would remove the scar and also remove the suture that is still in place . Can be done under local.   Best to ask your board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck. Andrew Cohen, MD

Although rare, it is possible that some long-lasting suture worked its way out through the scar. Check with your plastic surgeon if you have concerns.
