Is blue suture poking through skin fixable? (Photo)

August 21, 2015
Asked By:Letgo99 in Oregon, OR

I had FaceLift done May 9th 2015. It's been almost 4 months. I have a sharp pin like blue "sutures"?? poking through in front of both ears, and one "lump" where I can feel something under skin on neck that is protruding and shows up like a white bump. It is causing an irritation and sharp piercing pains.
