I Pulled out a Very Long Stitch 1 Month Post Op Septorhinoplasty. Did I Just Ruin my Results?

September 7, 2012

I got a septorhinoplasty 1 month and 1 1/2 weeks ago. Today when I blew my nose a large clot of (sorry) boogers was coming out of my nose. I had to pull it out because it wouldn't blow out, and I felt a little pop inside my nose. I noticed there was a yellowy stitch that was about 1 inch long minimum in the tissue. It hurt to pull it out, and now I worry that I ruined my nose and am very scared.
