Should stitches from a skin graft on my nose be removed?

May 20, 2016
Asked By:P. J. Gowan in West Columbia, SC

I recently had MOHs surgery on my nose that was closed with a skin graft. After a week the bandage was removed along with the stitches from the donor cite. I was given an appointment date in three months. What is going to happen to the stitches in the graft? Should I have been given an appointment to have them removed?
