Asked By:ladyjustice1776 in Las Vegas, NV

Hello I am very upset. I received a lip augmentation on my lower lip on Friday 7/28/17 with a 5 mm implant. I brushed and flossed my teeth the next day and noticed slight bleeding on the left side that stopped it wasn't much blood. I spoke to my surgeon who said I might of popped the stitch so I went to the er and the doctor there examined me and said they looked fine. If I did pop the stitch and need the implant removed how long till I could put it back in?
