Can PDO thread sutures be seen in CT Scans?

cnav055
Hello, I received PDO threads on my cheek bones about 7 months ago. Two months later I noticed puffiness in that area. After speaking with a cosmetic dermatologist she stated that it could be a late on set symptom of my PDO threads and a possibility of excision could be an option. This is a big decision. My question is if there is an imaging scan that could detect the sutures and identify the issue?
