Is it a simple procedure to remove an Alar cinch suture?

Alar cinch removal is usually quick and easy; however, the best person to remove it is the person who put it in. The advantage they have is they know where they buried the know, and they now what type of suture was used. I prefer Prolene for the alar cinch, because it is not uncommon for the patient to feel tight in the area after surgery. If this sensation is uncomfortable and does not go away, a Prolene suture is much easier to remove, and it can often be done in the office with a bit of local. 

I would need to see you and do examination. The best and cheapest way for u is to see your surgeon.      

An alar cinching suture typically is a non-absorbable, thick stitch that is placed from a stab-incision on one side of your nostril across to the other. When the cinching suture is tightened, this results in slight narrowing of the base of your nose. Removal of such a stitch may not be as involved as you think. Consult with your surgeon or another rhinoplasty specialist so you could see what might be best for you.Wishing you well.Dr. Joseph.
