If I pulled out a dissolvable stitch, will it harm my nose?

andreaolazo
I had a rhinoplasty done 6 days ago, i still have the cast on. I tried getting some dry blood out, and pulled something that seemed like a string. It hurt a little at first, however, i kept pulling until it came out. I just found out that it may have been a suture. So, will this cause any major effects?
