If a dissolvable suture is irritating a nerve, causing burning pain in the thigh after a body lift, what happens next?

Bodyliftgood
I know sometimes body lift patients can experience numb and burning thighs after a body lift. If this happens because of a suture compressing a nerve or damage to the nerve, what happens next? How long does it take and how do you get the burning pain to resolve?
