Will suture knots dissolve after mini and neck lift?

March 8, 2016
Asked By:snowbirds in Naples, FL

It's been three months since mini and neck lift. I have about five suture knots right below the surface of skin in front and below ears. I called the PC office and was told they will either dissolve or come to the surface like a "black head". Is this a normal concern? If they pop thru the skin, what do I do? I am traveling and will not be in my home state for another two months. Thank You for your help!
