Hello, two years ago i had an otoplasty on both ears with permanent sutures. Two months ago i noticed that behind each ear i have one stitch coming out. I am going back to the surgeon who had performed the operation but prior to that i wanted to ask for any advice as to what i should tell him or what i should ask etc. This is the second time it's happened (the first time the stitch was out in only one ear) and i don't know if it is somehow his fault or if it is just 'nature'?
