Is it normal to feel a line of stitches from front of ear down neck 3.5 years post neck lift?

Question

Hello, I has a neck lift 3.5 years ago and can still feel a line of stitches or something from front of ear down neck. You can’t see them but they’re pretty prominent when you touch them. Is this normal ?

Providing that sutures on SMAS flap were done with permanent suture material (proline, naylon) it is possible that you can still palpate them under thin skin. Hope this helps.
