Hi Doctor I have one month ago rhinoplasty .It was 7 hour surgery and I have disovable stiches inside nose.I pulled them out yesterday by force ( while cleaning nose ) And my doctor told me that they should be inside nose for 6 month ! I am afraid my nose will become bigger and wider .What do U think about it ? Please I would appreciate ur answer.The stiches were inside nose at the middle ( bridge ) close to the top of nose connecting left and right side ....
