I am 16.5 months post necklift and have constant tightness, choking and burning from where the suture is anchored behind my ears, all across my neck. It is getting worse over time. (My jawline looks unnaturally tight.) I believe a permanent suture was used. The knots just under my skin behind both ears have not gotten smaller. I don't know what material was used. I will not return to the surgeon in Costa Rica. Could removing the suture provide relief? Is it too tight and/or could I be allergic?
