I am almost 1mo post op from breast augmentation and I just noticed that there is a piece of the blue non-dissolvable stitch left in my incision area from my left breast. It is a little pink around it but it's not infected (at least not yet). Is this dangerous? Will it get infected if I don't get it removed ASAP?
