Is this a bad thing? Will i need to get stitches again?

Question

I just got a septoplasty done 5 days ago and i went to go pull some dry blood near the edge of my left nostril and i may have pulled on a suture. The incision looks reopened on the left cause i can clearly see it open and close as i move my nose.

Dear raynahamieh, I would suggest seeking a follow up appointment with your surgeon so he/she can do an examination and give you a proper diagnosis and treatment plan if needed. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
