Doctor used permanent nylon threads in my lift - should I have these removed?

Asked By:Compassionate311864 in Portland, Oregon

I had an endoscopic brow lift. 4 incisions through the scalp. I just found out with an MRI that I basically have non dissolvable nylon sutures holding my forehead up. I'm so worried that I now have permanent plastic in my face I was not aware of. Should I get a revision and get this removed? The doctor said these are permanent polyester sutures.
