21 months post neck lift - should I have the permanent sutures removed?

Asked By:marian1929 in Denver, Colorado

I had a necklift performed by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon 21 months ago. Since day one I have had extreme burning pain just below the ears. My PS said he put permanent sutures in the area of the Lore's Fascia. I have tiny hard bumps in the immediate area which I suspect are granulomas. Could I be reacting to the sutures after all this time or is it the granulomas causing the burning? Should I have sutures removed. My PS dismissed me as a patient after only one visit for no reason and no anwers. I can't live like this.
