Will PDO threads dissolve completely or will I need this thread removed? (Photo)

February 3, 2019
Asked By:mcelaya in Chicago, IL

I just got PDO threads in my cheeks. On my right side everything okay. But on my left cheek I can see a “pointy bump” when I smile. It’s very obvious when I smile. I do have an appointment in 4 weeks for a check up. I just want to know if the bumps will completely disappear or should I have the thread removed instead?
