Piece of Thread from Stitches Left After Rhinoplasty

June 14, 2009
Asked By:Meeme in Orlando, Fl, USA

I had the stitches removed two days ago and I am afraid the doctor left a piece of thread inside the scar tissue. On the scar there is a little see-through black/blue dot; exactly where there was a suture point. What could happen if he left a piece of thread inside? They were not self-dissolvable stitches.
