I got my packing out yesterday and today i felt a heap of dried blood on the far end of my right nostril... On the skin on the side of nostril. I couldnt resist pulling on it and it came out along with a clear stitch that was in there. I looked inside my nose afterwards and saw a small red/pink dot from where the stitch was pulled out. Will this cause any damage to the final result? What are dissolvabl stitches used for in that area? Is it used to make the nose smaller?
