I have treads poking through my skin after a PDO thread lift, do I need a surgeon to fix it?

gailbuddy
I had a PDO thread lift and now the end of the thread is about to poke thru my skin. Can this be fixed and if so, can the nurse who did it get it out easily or do I need a surgeon. And will they have to pull the thread totally out or just cut off the barb that is poking out?
