Sutures after Liplift didn’t dissolve after 2 years

The timeline for these sutures to disappear can vary. Most types should start to dissolve or fall out within a week or two, although it may take a few weeks before they disappear completely. Some may even last for several months. The exact duration depends on factors such as the type of suture material, the location of the sutures, and the individual's healing process. Note that if left in for too long, the skin can grow over the stitches, making removal more difficult and potentially leading to increased scarring. Since all sutures are technically foreign substances, the human body has a tendency to reject them. Ideally, this means the body breaks them down and dissolves them. However, in some cases, this may cause mild inflammation or discomfort as the body works to break down the material.
I hope this information assists in understanding the use and implications of dissolvable sutures in lip stitching. Please let me know if there are other aspects of this case or any other case that we should explore.

In some cases, dissolvable sutures may not dissolve as expected and can cause issues like prolonged redness, irritation, or the formation of bumps. The medical professional can assess the situation and may recommend a procedure to remove the remaining sutures safely. Do not attempt to remove them yourself, as that could lead to complications or infections.

Reach out to your surgeon or a new specialist experienced in facial procedures to discuss your concerns and explore potential solutions for the lingering issues with your scar. They will be best equipped to provide appropriate guidance based on your specific case.

Best of luck !
