Why haven't my stitches fully dissolved 3 months after a closed rhinoplasty? Is this normal? Surgery was in Miami, I'm in Denver

Asked By:Denverxo in Denver, CO

There is still a line of stitching hanging on by a thread connected to what I can best describe as a small hole near the opening of my nostril. I don't see a hole, I just figure it must be one. I have started to take a qtip with peroxide to coat the hanging stitch & hole hoping this will cause It to dissolve. The hole used to become agitated before I started using the peroxide often. It looks like I have a constant booger hanging if you're at the right angle and I'm sick of it. Thank you.
