Unbearable Sutures Under Skin from Inner Thigh Lift?

floridafran
I had a inner thigh lift years ago.My doctor must have used undissovable sutures under my skin in my legs because a year after surgery I could feel them protruding from under my skin. In my groin area between my legs I can feel what I can describe as "strings" underneath my skin. I'm at my wits end, my surgeon now wants to charge me an outrageous fee to revise. I just would like the "strings" cut they are making my life miserable. Has anyone dealt with something like this? Please, please help!
