Asked By:asianguy529 in El Segundo, California

I had the sutures done 4 months ago and it's been bothering me lately.. and my lips would get distorted literally by just moving my mouth around one side or the other and my upper lip would get stuck in animations from the sutures. I really want a quick and easy way to remove this suture once and for all. Can someone let me know what's involved and how much it would be ballpark?
