Hi i had facelift 6 weeks ago in other state so i wont be able to visit my surgeon but i was able to speak with him over the phone. I asked him about a white transcendent thread ( feels like a fishing thread) popped out on my temple area, he advised me to just leave it alone. I would like to get 2nd opinions. How long it will take to dissolvable sutures dissolve and is it ikay to leave the poked out suture? Thank you for your valuable opinion.
