I had a tummy tuck & breast lift/augmentation after losing a large amount of weight. My tummy tuck line never smoothed and was filled with bumps (suture knots). I've had a few surface, but easily. Recently one got very red & hot & sore so I went to my surgeon. I had an abscess where a stitch was coming out. Five years later. Is that common? What factors contribute to skin/body properly dissolving sutures? Thx
